CJ PV-10 no sound
If you are getting a "pop" instead of a "click", that might be the mute relay. When you turn the preamp on, the mute relay stays on for the first 30 seconds or so to stabilize the electronics and tubes. Then it clicks off to allow the signal to fl...

Your favorite 5687 tube in the Modwright 9.0 SE?

which preamp for my cary slam-100 mono's?
Cary SLP-98F1 
Nola Contender and Martin Logan Electro-MotionESL
I've heard the new Martin Logan and it's stunning. I need to add that I am biased toward ML having been a dealer and owning over 10 different pairs and currently use a pair of CLSIIA's. Still, these are really, really good for the money.Never hear...

I saw them at Red Rocks last summer and the summer before, (and two summers before that). My favorite band in the world. They have never been anything but spectacular!
