Well, that was my second thought. My first was, crap this sounds better than I thought it could. A lot better. Mark make sure you get the under mount.. 2m blue verso...how did Steve treat you...?

EJC Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Enjoy. I still use the TD-160C I bought in 1976, a splurge at $230 (+$60 for a Shure V15-III) back then while I was in school. If you want to make some minor mods: 1-Get rid of the fiberboard bottom and replace it with 3/4" plywood 2- Put some Dynamat (or similar material) on the inside of the base 3- Consider changing the small rubber feet to ones that will give better isolation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eyeing his amps for a while now.... Well that's correct if you don’t buy a head shell and mod it. I can’t help myself, so I committed blasphemy and modded a head shell. Forgive me Sir Dirtmudd for I have sinned. Steve at Decware is an absolute joy. Richieb inspired me to try SET amps after hearing his Jubes. It took about 5 months to get the Rachel but it was worth the wait. Really need a good tube preamp now to move it up a notch. Stay tuned.

Nope, I learned how to disassemble a Thorens head shell to allow cartridge mounting through the top. I did mod Matt's La Scalas so they sound better than they look.

I will concede that was my parent's goal. Forty years later, I’m happy it worked out. And that the chicks really liked Frampton.
