make sure to use a 12AU7 in the right spot or you will have very little out. I'm getting confused ... right <-> left ... or right <-> wrong??? If I understood one of your former posts right, the right spot for the 12AU7 is in the left spot. Another confusion: Right and left from which view point? I...

I think that CRT monitor next to your left speaker is asking for trouble. Ofcoarse your monitor needs to be shielded. But I think you know that, and this is not my concern. But, the wall behind the speakers gives you very early and important reflections. With that CRT placed like that in that positi...

I guess my point is its not noisy because you used unbalanced inputs You are right! That is not the reason. The real reason is, that you don't use balanced connections. You are running it out of specs, when you use it unbalanced. the signal is already noisy when it comes out of the preamp. Only if ...

I'm also in the 'can not fly' group of people. Twice, I have sat in a plane with tears rolling from my eyes from pain. Last time I did it, my tinitus (broad spectrum noise) went up so much, that I would hear it over cars passing by on a rainy day!! I settles after about a week, but I am not gambling...

When people complain about it, they're told "it's designed to be run balanced." That's like if you bought a car that leaked oil from the factory and someone told you it was designed to have an oil pan under it when it was parked. Or like if you bought a bike which lost air from the tyres, and you w...

That would be any passive (transformer based) direct box with unbalanced line input and balanced line output. Direct boxes don't care about directivity. They just convert. I don't know much about DIs. I always thought that active DI boxes took an instrument level signal and brought it up to line le...

so, you're saying that to get the output of this pre into an unbalanced input, you have to run your audio through a DI box first?!?! sounds ridiculous to me. can you give me a link to a DI box that has a balanced LINE input and an unbalanced LINE output? That would be any passive (transformer based...

Re: A great explanation of the perils of overcompression
Actually, I don't think the video needs any additional written comments. It is the difference between sensing and thinking. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ

Yes, IMO it is stupid. Buy one[b/] and if you like it, buy some more. Buying multiple units of something you have not heard makes no sense to me. I like mine, and I bought it based on soundclips and recomendations. But I bought one this way - not eight. haha you take me too seriously. thx for the h...

Yes, preamps do have a "sound". But everything you put your signal through has a sound. I don't patch up any of my other gear just to use it in "untrue" bypass either. I have a hard time seeing a logical reason for "in-unit" pads to be inferior to "stand alone" pads. There might be bad designs and ...

Immanuel, do you plug your mics into your recording device and record signal without a preamp often? Which mics do you own that put out line level or whatever it is that mic preamps amplify the signal to? interesting. No, I don't, but I don't record drums either :wink: Still, if you need a pad to a...
