I would advise against this. You can purchase a better phono unit than the PV-12A's phono section very reasonably. And your PV-12A is worth more with the phono stage than without it.
Conrad Johnson PV-12A - Remove Phono Board?
Hi,
I have a CJ PV-12 Preamp that I would like to remove the phono board from and turn it into a completely separate phono-stage. Anyone know what exactly might be involved in performing such a project? I love the CJ's phono section but a friend wishes to purchase my PV-12 but does not need or want the phono section; rather just a linestage version.
I would love some technical knowledge and expertise here as I am fairly able to perform minor audio surgery but would love an instructional from anyone who might know how to do this :)
Thanks!
