I just acquired the C11 yesterday. They look very nice together and sound unbelievable. I just wanted to see how they sat together before taking the C11 back out to do a full rebuild. Lots of caps and probably a few resistors as the cross-talk on the phono channel is atrocious.
Been having a blast making audio signs, some Mc stuff - also did Mc on black acrylic in both greena and gold, just no pics yet.
Having some fun with my first tube preamp. It’s a whole new world to me since I’ve only ran SS gear before, and had the C28 and MC2105 since 2009.
Finally was able to pickup my equipment from service. Purchased all out of an estate of a family friend. Been waiting 30 years. Hook the C22 up to my current step up. Very noticeable difference. Can’t wait until this weekend to setup the rest.
Neglected and rotting in someones garage, was completely toast and kept blowing fuses, replaced all the output transistors and filter caps and it sounds like its brand new. She ain't gonna win any beauty contests but she's mine and sounds beautiful.
