Nice, I have a C8 Record Compensator. It used to be hooked up to a Fisher monoblock. )MT(

Ross Audiophile Posts: 1814 Joined: January 24, 2000	I know the C8 is mono and lacks a power supply. However it is 12ax7 based and has phono eq compensation (like a C20). How similar is the C8 circuit to the circuits of the C11 or C20 ? Thanks.

No slouch int the sound department either. FWIW, the LED bulb kits for that really make it pop. Enjoy! WW "Put on your high heeled sneakers. Baby, we''re goin'' out tonight.

But the LEDs do a better job, give even light across the face, emit less heat, and certainly give it a far more dramatic look. WW "Put on your high heeled sneakers. Baby, we''re goin'' out tonight.

The Dill Audiophile Posts: 2197 Location: Portland, Oregon Joined: July 1, 2004 Contributor Since: February 3, 2016	Looks good, however is that the wrong size cabinet for that unit? Looks like a McIntosh cabinet but for a larger model.

Not the right size(was being used with a C24 that's similar size) but all I have at the moment. Doesn't really bug me, and it's easier to remove when I need to change a tube or get to the back.
