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!

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!

Hi all! - I stumbled onto this site while looking for preamp options to pair with a power amp that I am having built for me. Have heard a lot of good things about Carvers, especially those that have been upgraded/modified. Current equipment is a Yamaha S701 and '86 Klipsch Cornwalls. I mostly stream music using an older Macbook and Topping D10s. Decided to go back to using separate components which i haven't done since my youth. I'll start looking through the postings regarding preamps and preamp modifications to get some ideas. Anyway, welcome your thoughts and suggestions for taking my system up a notch or two! Jeff
