Wasn't looking for another preamp,it was totally an impulse buy.My first impressions of the c2300 is that it IS quiet with very low distortions that lets you hear into th... | |
| Graham Phantom on TW Acustic Raven? Gerrym5It is a snap as Tdaudio points out. As others suggest above I also highly recommend the purchase of a Wally or a MintLp arc protractor for precise set up that goes well beyond the factory Graham jigs, as good and well thought out as they are. | |

| Best, or ideal record clamp Do record clamps work with every turn table?....NoI would say many would benefit from a centre weight and or even a platter mat especially light weight platter design.Experiment and listen.Stanwal I agree with your friend with the Raven table, no ... | |
| McCartney Live? Chashmal , I agree , McCarney pre 1970.However personally I wouldn't go as far as labeling him as a hack and has been.Though thinking about it as I type this, here's another issue.You would think the man learned a few thing's all these year's with... | |
