I have a line on a C-4 preamp locally.
How does it rank in the pecking order and would a recap be in order.
I read a review were it has a nice warm sound. Might be able to use it with my tube amp.
I picked it up tonight for a really good price and it's a very fine unit.
I love the look of it and it's needs some deoxit on the controls but it worked very well.
I found the first set of phono inputs were a bit dodgy so I switched to the second set and it sounds fine.
Can't wait to hear it after a full recap and deoxit, would replacing the resistors on the phono board with 1% metal film ones be worthwhile as well?
my volume controll was dirty and i had to unsolder all 13 or 14 legs to get deoxit in there.. it doesent have manny holes.. but the ones it does have are on the bottom where it meets the board.
you will have to remove all the knobs. (requires a hex thinggy) and remove the face to get the nut off that holds the pot to the face of the unit..
(if the volume knob is the one that needs the deoxit) the other ones you can get to without all the work.
