It seemed that people were poo pooing the C-2 on "other sites". I bought it because of the price and the brand. It's my only preamp at this time and I do plan on running with it, now that I replaced the power switch.
We've been living out of boxes for the past three years and now that I'm almost finished with building a house, it's time to crank up some tunes!
I'm an old school two channel guy; Nakamichi 480Z Cassette, Nakamichi MB-4s CD, Carver C-2 Preamp, Deer Creek EQ901 Elite Equalizer, Phase Linear 400 Amp, Bose 901 Series II speakers, and a Polk Audio PSW125 Subwoofer.
Planning on building a cabinet similar to this one I spotted online. It needs to hold all of the above plus my A/V system.
