Hi rayma,

thanks for the reply, but unfortunately 'A' is not the version, it is completely different device. My device is preamp > CA Azur 840E.

CA Azur 840A is integrated amplifier and not preamp.

I have 2 of these and love them!

I would like to mod one of them to see if I can improve it.

Lots of bipolar caps in it. Cheap opamps are mainly for functions I do not use, like XLR inputs et.c.

Hi, Did you ever get a copy of the CA Azure 840e schematics? Mine has died so I'm hoping I can begin to isolate the problem area.
Thank you,
Gerard.

I had a quick look on the net and couldn't find it. Maybe email them and explain your situation, the worst that can happen is they say no. Good luck.

Thanx fellers
Repair is going ahead but waiting on parts to arrive from the USA.
When it's back working I am going to sell it on and get something reliable and with good phono inputs

And I three "3" of them (CA 840E) !

Hello guys: I too love this preamp; I have thee of them ! It;s a very much under-the-radar linestage.

YET, as all owners must know, the runaway, cracking/shorting 'volume control' is a major disappointment. YET, fixable.

I'll be sending in my third 840E for te mandatory volume relay replacement -and power supply capacitors. There was a fine chap at Audiogon who suggested some replacement parts Figitsu (Japanese) relay's that are drop-in replacements. With twenty-eight relays used for volume (14/channel) it's a time-consuming job -with the requiiste precision de-soldering/soldering skill of old/new relays.

In any case, I think I may have the service manual/schematics. I'll take a look and post -if I can find it.
