TOWNSHEND ELITE ROCK MARK 2 UPGRADES
I hadn't come across the pheonix combo. Problems with that for me are:1. we run 50hz2. the berger lahrs has a 6.8 watt drawOut oos interest is the Falcon two phase or single phase?

Interesting thread - I am trying to get hold of a Sony OL2k mat - I am told its by far the best mat for the TTS8000 - no modern equivalent out there either. That said the mat from thecartridgeman looks promising. I am not convinced that there is a...
