Info needed on McCormack ALD-1 preamp please

Seems like Steve's McCormack's current Company (SMC i think) is not interested in answering questions on his older designs...Zero customer service..Anywho,can anybody direct as to where i can find an owners manual (i did the Google search but no audio manual websites seems to stock one) Also need info on the phono section (basic specs) and looking to find out if the clear acrylic top was an option or if the ALD-1 with the clear top i just purchased was custom made...Thanks!

Hello Steve,

Would you happen to know if the phono module would fit in a TLC-1 Deluxe?

Thanks,
Wayne

ps: I agree with everything Rootmann said...

Hi Wayne -

I did not include phono capability in the TLC-1 design, figuring that users would add an outboard phono stage if they wished. The phono module I designed went into the ALD-1 preamp and the Micro Phono Drive, and was later incorporated into the RLD-1 and MAP-1 preamps.

These days we have a lot of dedicated phono preamps to choose from once again, so just pick one that fits your needs and you're good to go.

Best regards,

Steve McCormack

Major Mea Culpa...I have had ongoing email contacts and a telephone conversation with Kris at SMc...All my questions were answered and i'm impressed with the hands-on customer service...I got caught up and confused in the whole McCormack Audio in Virginia madness...Sorry again..
