I don't know if it's F1, but it's Grado with a green dot.

Newer than an F1 then, F1 has F1 right on the front.

Stock, it doesn't sound very good. Suitably damped to reduce resosnance in the arm/casework with feet removed, it easily beats the Linn and others. I bought mine for less than $150.

Really? What you do for feet and how about more info on damping, I didn't know that unit could beat Linn. I bought mine for $200.

Start with damping chasis. But the key area is the guide rail and carriage for the arm. I used sorbothane grommets and bitumen strips. The whole thing probably needs a clean up. Use spikes in place of the feet, and reinforce the support area. Unit must be levelled precisely and mounted on wall support. The player works very well with a Dynavector XX1L.

If this thing after the mods will beat my Maple Noll air bearing turntable I can honestly say it was one useful thread.

Thanks fmak.

Default Freebies.

I got given a pair of Canton GLH-100 loudspeakers today.
An hour later I had the bunky dome mid driver fixed and they work a treat.
Heavy cabinet, diecast 12", doped dome mid and doped dome tweeter and pretty extensive XO.
I cranked them for an hour or so on my repair bench amp and they are quite decent.
Yippee, new reference monitors.

Eric.

If you guys decide to build a preamp don't be afraid to put some extra features. The user of this one can't complain.
