@bugredmachine I wish you would've reached out and let me know this was your experience with my Motherlode, as there's things that could have been done (possibly changing out the coupling caps to something more lively, or relaxed- depending on preference), as well suggestions that could have been made including specific tube recommendations based on what you were hearing/looking for. Subsequently the new owner of your preamp enjoys it and commissioned me to build him an amplifier so apparently it was a fit to his ears. I just wanted to point out that I stand by my gear and would have offered help if it was brought to my attention instead of seeing it on a public forum. Best regards, Aric
Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp
I'm looking for recommendations for a balanced TUBE pre amplifier..preferably one that also has a phono input.. with a low output impedance. I'm currently using an Coda No.8..which was designed with balanced in mind.. but it has a pretty low balanced input impedance of just 10k ohms. Price.. I wouldn't like to spend more than 6k.
Thank you all :)
