Mostly cons. Zeners can be very noisy and can tend to dry up the sound when compared to tube references. You may lose that little bit of "give" in the base response. Ditto for replacing the tube regulator with solid state.
Replacing OA2 tubes with Zenier Diodes in Preamp
To all you electronics experts out there....(because I don't know electronics at all...)
In a preamp power supply that has (2) OA2 tubes for voltage reference and (2) 6EM7 regulator tubes, what would be the pros and cons of replacing the OA2 tubes with Zenier Diodes?
Thanks.
