I've owned a the pv2 for awhile and all the caps have been replaced and wondered if there are any upgrades for the preamp.

CJ PV2 upgrades
Re: CJ PV2 upgrades
Marc,
First welcome to the site, it's nice to have you! If you have a chance maybe you can post your setup to the "member system gallery" area as I'm sure we would all like to take a look at that beautiful PV2!
As for your question. I think the only upgrades I have heard people do to the PV2 is changing the tubes, upgrading the caps, and some will change the power cord to a universal adapter so they can use different cords.

Re: CJ PV2 upgrades
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. Did you replace ALL the caps or just the PS ones? I have a PV1, and the simplicity is probably what I like most about it.
Re: CJ PV2 upgrades
I did replace the pc's, all the other caps using Wima's and pio's. The upgrades that CJ did was to make the circuit simpler and improve the bass response. I was also curious if any owners had experimented with this series.
