Repair or mod CJ PV-12?
Some good suggestions above. I would also give George Kaye (of NYAL fame) a call. He did some repair/mods of some NYAL and Counterpoint pieces I used to have and he did a very fine job. As an interesting aside he is a fine (and active) jazz bassist; very interesting guy. Good luck. http://kayeaudiolabs.com |
With all due respect, I think some of you guys are being unfair to CJ. First of all, there is a reason that the company has been around as long as they have been; they make good sounding gear and they have a reputation for good customer service. Orpheus10, by your own admission their estimate fee (for an out of warranty item) is "not bad"; imo, that alone should tell you something. The bone of contention here seems to be that they won't simply sell the transformer; not that they won't repair the unit. They way I see it, it makes complete sense that they would not want to simply sell the part and let an unauthorized individual do the repair. They want to make sure that their product is repaired properly and that their reputation is protected. Makes sense to me and to impugn their reputation over something like this is not reasonable. You have a piece that you like and makes music for you, you don't like the sound of the more modern stuff, prices for newer gear keep going up, and there is a possibility that there is something else wrong with the unit. Why not send it to those who understand the circuit better than anyone else and who have the most interest in knowing that it is repaired properly? |
