* Dropped off my Conrad Johnson PV 1 preamp to Mike about 3 weeks ago.
http://www.conradjohnson.com/It_just_sounds_right/a-PV1.html
* PV 1 stopped working.
* Mike had never worked on a PV 1 and did not have schematic.
* Traced problem to two main caps failing.
* Dropped PV 1 on a Monday and got it back that Thursday.
* All tube system (PV 1 and Dyna ST 70s) sounds tubey groovy!
* Again very reasonable repair cost and timely service.
* What I have begun to appreciate with Mike is that he will tell you right up front if he is too busy to accept more work. He is a one man shop and only accepts work that he can complete within what appears 2 weeks time. I have been fortunate because I am close by and can drop off my equipment if he finishes work up earlier.
