Hey Trolls!
Looking to upgrade from my 1C head, I'd prefer a 1D or better (Grampian etc) head, also would love if it was 8 or 16 ohms.
Cheers!

Look around here....if I remember right, some evidence suggests that a refurbished 1C head will be about as good as a refurbished 1D head.

Id have to agree that 1C's can vary widely depending on condition.
the 1D I do have is excellent though.
I would also recommend looking around for a Fairchild 541 head, it will be much less money than a Grampian, and in my tests it's matched my 1D.

Thanks guys!

I am trying to get it back to the same way Sam used it at the studio with Elvis and the boys, and he used a 1D. My 1C is okay, good for me to practice on. Thanks for all your help through this Steve and everyone on the site!
Cheers,
Matt
