Try CJ for the schematics

Surely CJ would most likely send your the schematics through email with quick response.

Yet I'll have reservation for sending the amps back to CJ for service. I have a setup with both pre-owned CJ preamp and power amp. Both developed certain problems over this past 2 years. The power amp had a similar recurring problem of power tube thermal runaway.

To make a long story short, CJ took an extended wait period, up to 8 weeks, to look at the amp. Whether they could fix the problem is no guarantee. My Premier Two had been back 3 times and the power amp twice. My gut feeling is the same guy who worked on my two amps don't seem to have the mind on the service job. Probably he outright didn't, or still doesn't, want to do that to start with. You may have the picture how well a job would be done in that situation.

If Bill Thalmann of Music Technology did the upgrade with your PV8, check back with him on both. I found him to be much more responsive, faster turnaround, and able to fix the problem.

Just my 2-cent worth and hope this helps.
