- Hello From NorCal
  
  By BobTFM35 · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  @Ultramafic1 That will be a fantastic build on the amp and a great combination with the C-1 if I may say so. Why, my son has a PL 400 paired with a C-1 in his B system. I think you are going to like it.
- Hello From NorCal
  
  By Ultramafic1 · Posted 5 hours ago
  
  Thank you. Looking forward to it. Came across the Phoenix site (and this site) while looking for repair options for my old PL 200. Decided to go with the White Oak Audio 400 build for the amp. I am going to start off combining it with a C-1. Found a nice one owner piece that I think will work, but will have to look into some of those other Carver preamp options you listed. Yes, with the purchase of the C-1 an appointment with Nelion Audio may be in cards!

  By Ultramafic1 · Posted 5 hours ago
  
  Thanks. I've decided to start off with the C-1. Found one that is a one owner and seems to be in very nice shape. Hopefully it gets to me in one piece!
