General question about tube preamps and gain
This has nothing to do with the preamp I just bought. There was a discussion I had with an acquaintance which is why I ask. It has nothing to do with me personally.i was asked the question and I said that it seemed to me that by dropping the out p... 
General question about tube preamps and gain
In my mind it makes sense. But then I don’t have any actual knowledge so maybe I’m way off.

Agreed. Please don’t drink and post. Yeah? 
New Preamp arrived....
@sebrof  hahaha I do clench very hard unfortunately. I’m strung right like Cameron from Ferris Bueller. 
New Preamp arrived....
@yogiboy I'd love to know your thoughts on it and what tubes you are using. 
New Preamp arrived....
Thats @tooblue I left it on all night so it will get double sigit hours today and all through the night. I will also wait on rolling the new tubes. 
New Preamp arrived....
@noromance thanks. I figured things will change but I guess my expectations were too high as to where they’d start from. Going from a $50 passive to tube it seemed to me o should be starting in a better position and improving from there.I’ve only ...

NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
