should prolly just buy a new tube set from CJ vs ebay ... too.

dam, that big system sounds cool!

yes the dna 1 sounds way better and the protection mode dosen't go on any more since the entire cap upgrade!!
I do favor my belles 150a hot rod.. for what ever reason, ( mids & realistic sound ) that is with smaller speakers.
i love that belles stuff too!

i did some competition years ago with a milbert bam tube amp, solen custom passive xovers with big air coils, 4 peerless 8inch face to face in a mirror plexi box, morel 6 inch i nthe doors, vifa 4 inch and morel tweeters in the dash. audi control eql, eclipse cd. all kimber cable interconnect and ...

i use a butcher block type wood table top that i took apart and cut in half

madisound has some small cheapo ones online, complete with inserts!

finished my dna 1 power amp, recapped all the lytics,
silver interconnect and speaker wire with cardas jacks!
sounds allot better!
was fun updating too!

why would they be cj in disguise?

yes, it only trips the amp when i try to play the phono section with vol higher than 3, it'll pop.
everything else works great , just the phono has issues... The phono section was just muted prior to the cap upgrade..

i plan on looking into it further this weekend.
I'll check for bridges ( but ...

it also trips my mccormack DNA 1 protection curcuit on and off..

i'm using a rega rp1 with what i think is a higher output style MM cartridge.. is it possible that the pv6 is setup for a MC cartridge?

hello,
been working on my pv6, previously the phono sections sounded muted, like a wool blanket was over the speakers. i swapped tubes with no reaal differenc with the phone section, line stage sounded great..

so i updated the caps all the caps both poly and electrolytics.. preamp sounds much ...

Bottom pic. Ill run it but I do think it gets a but warmer than it should be.... ill try pushing some air past it

I hear you on the voltages I tend to keep the other hand in my pocket while snooping around under the hood and hey thanks for your input/help Id rather not replace anything if I don't have to!
When I first hooked it up I thought it was sounding slightly off balance with greater volume to the right ...

Haven't messed with it yet other than checking the voltages. Input from wall was OK 117-120vac. The output v stamped on the tranny says 320 and 15.75vdc but measures 193 and 58v with only the power plugged in. I can see some discolored 2.2mf250v cap ends next to a ecc81. The Motorola runs pretty hot ...

Tried the download and my phone ain't got the juice to open it. I'll have to check the schematics on a desktop PC... ya the preamp sounds pretty darn good. This site is cool.

Ya, what Ian said.. on a different note I'm saving all my toilet paper rolls to use as cable risers, maybe I'll wrapem in alumfoil I'm looking for improved 'bottom end'. just kidding. If it works and you hear it use it and stay happy!

Hello! I'm new to the site and just pick up my first cj piece ! I'm up in Wisconsin and I have some electronics know how and back ground... anybody remember 'salon one audio' I do.
Well this preamp sounds lovely. The pv2a preamp with black knobs gets a bit warm with the power tranny only putting out ...
