In Reply to: Re: My Conrad Johnson preamp is making horrible sounds on startup. posted by Marantzguy on April 16, 2007 at 09:27:13:
I always do the simple stuff first. Opened up the CJ PV2ar and resoldered all the tube base connection points, also resoldered some other joints. Checked everything I could. Cleaned selector switch and sockets.
The sound is still there on start up. Is there DC leaking?
What I did accomplish is I got rid of the microphonic tube noises, and selector switch 'pops'.
Overall, it sounds the same, great w/ CDs, but I wonder if the Phono section doesn't sound as good now (or is it my imagination?)May replace one section of the multi-section can cap next. 50-80 mfd, 450V it reads.
