I sold my Benchmark and got a LTA MicroZOTL Level 2. Thought I would keep the Benchmark and switch out, but after hearing the MicroZOTL for a week decided to sell the LA4. Waiting to try some upgraded tubes from LTA for even more improvement.
Tube Sound With Equalization?
I currently have and Benchmark preamp and amp playing into full range drivers. The sound is very neutral as expected, but recently I was able to demo a Mac MA352 Hybrid Integrated amp with a tube pre and solid state amp. I found the sound to have more decay, especially in the mids, and more pronounced with stringed instruments. I was wondering if an equalizer would be able to recapture some of those qualities, and what would the settings be?
