Hi, I'm Alex and I'm new to the forum. Live and work in Hong Kong.
Recently got into tubes and always wanted a CJ system. Sourced a PV-5 (which had its transformer changed to 220v) and an LP70s recently through two different buyers and absolutely loving it! I'm very impressed just how powerful it is - was a complete shock to me when I put on one of my more familiar tracks. I was really surprised how smooth it is compared to solid state. Just can't stop listening!
Other hobbies include road cycling and headphones and headphone amps
Hoping to learn from other esteemed members here.

Hi Alex,
Welcome to CJO. Great to have you with us. I was in Hong Kong 2 years ago and had a wonderful time. Great city. Very sad to hear about all the political turmoil going on there now. Congrats on the PV-5 and LP70. Enjoy the sound!

Hola Alex and welcome,
All I can say is: Conrad Johnson sounds right! And this is their slogan. I just added: Quality has no regret!
At Conrad Johnson, there are kits to upgrade your PV-5. It is wise to change the regulator stages and the power supply capacitors (basically this is). The unit starts to sing as never before. And it is not too expensive. If you have electronic skills or know a friend with them, it takes less than two hours to do the job. If your PV-5 is dead silence, no hum at all, keep it as it is.
Happy listening.
