Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre

What's an SFL2?

That's really sweet! I'm not quite that talented of a diy'er. :-(

I've got 2 out of the 4. :-)

What has been your experience?

What tube pre do you use and what passive autoformer did you use to compare it to?

I have sold my Dude as my source is now fully balanced. I don't know your view on passives so if you can share, that would be great.

Was the Bent that you tried an Autoformer and fully balanced unit?

I'm using ATSAH (Hypex NC1200) amps and Lynx Hilo.

Pot in box doesn't work....needs to be remote volume controlled.

Specs wise the amps are fine as is the Lynx. I've got that covered.

Thanks.

Of course you do...you make (and sell) the tube preamp that you're using. :-)

Of course. I'm just sayin' though. I wouldn't expect him to like anything else publicly. Right?

My source is fully balanced so to take full advantage of that, a fully balanced pre is needed.

I had a Bent remote (ALPS) on my Dude. It's just a motor that's on the back of the Shallco attenuator. There's nothing to it.

Not balanced direct. Nothing missing now. :-)
