There seems to be very little out there on the early cj pv series. I have seen upgrades to the power supply and wondered if anyone had personally completed the upgrade to 2A or the 2AR. Not sure if upgrading to those revisions would yield as much difference as just replacing worn out components. Di...

Well I couldnt help myself. I picked up a Conrad Johson MF-2200 to go along with the PV2. I only had the PV2 a couple of days and was pairing it with Parasound HCA-750. Well I have now switched out the Parasound for the Conrad Johnson and I have mixed feelings. The CJ is much more laid back and bas...

Hate to beat a dead horse here but admin and ray are right on the money. Its all about the original recording and how well it was played, recorded, and mastered. I have some fav music that is just completely ruined if played "clean" ....sadly some stuff just sounds better compressed, ie mp...

After a quick look, you cant see the custom stands.....they are old broken chairs....so terrible....lol....

Well...lemme give this another shot. Here a pic of the completed repair, yeah still dusty as all get out....but will clean very well before I put it to semi-permanent use. (Hey, that original CJ dust in there...its gotta be worth something....lol). Sorry for the lousy pic, didnt think it was this bl...

Nice. Having the back of the room open probably helps in the sound. Prior to building my home theater room I had my stereo in a smaller room with the back of the room having two glass double doors leading into the rest of the house. There was a noticeable improvement in the sound with the doors ope...

time for the mv-50 have the caps suggested for the bias circuit...and just placed an order for the tube sockets...that site sure is proud of the input stage pins, went cheap with non pin and will modify as necessary. I make one third of what I used to....two masters degrees in business, and all I ca...

Yeah, I usually do a save and even email to myself if it is a particularly long post and I am on an "unreliable computer"(not uncommon for some older ones of mine to have unscheduled shutdowns), just didnt seem like it had been that long(then again I type faster than I talk most the time.....

Well after another lengthy narrative and pics, I hit submit, and it logs me out.....ugh...oh well....short version....

Fixed PV1 with replacing one tiny cap. Sounds great as expected....ugh, still dismayed about losing my post, the one time I dont save before posting. Bleh

Hello, Introduced myself already and had some requests for pics....So, here are a few. If you didnt read the intro...heres my story. Have had the PV1 for about twenty years now(wow...hard to believe). I had it running some Infinity Q5(12" Watkins, 2" dome and the old style chrome emits). T...

Thank you both. Peter, sounds like you did right by those ARs on both the woodworking and the electronics. I have restored countless pairs, very few to original though. Most were too far gone, mostly replacing drivers and doing "new" crossovers. Part my design, part a fellow I worked with....

Found this site from a very helpful fellow on another forum. Currently working on a PV-1, and next a MV-50. Have a perfectly fine MV-52(for now), but it gets daily use so I am sure it will come under the knife soon enough. Plan on building a three way actice all CJ system(except for the speakers and...
