SO I built my extra mnats psu and powered this thing up, it is all discrete opamp design, tons of gain.

Took out the channel strips that were just for the carts and tapes, will look at those later, gold tipped modules, not to hard to build may try to put a neve stylee module in here...

Cinemag input tranx, UTC out...

I am going to recap...just as a matter of antiquity...but my level of knowledge on this suggest that the issue of tantalum caps is probably reduced considerably by a good psu, the power supply rails/scheme will have more to do with noise than just about any other thing...

But yes I will replace them if nothing more than to avoid the poisonous fumes when they go...no one wants to die of tant inhalation.

By the way...I don't prescribe to the notion that ALL tants are bad...Neve, Yamaha, Urei, Studer, to name a few used them all over the place, heck look at some of the Nuemann/Telefunken pre's tants abound...

My approach is...make sure the psu is properly isolated/schemed...then turn the sucker on...and listen.

In this case the psu is new and of a good design...

Rupert Neve said he used them because they generated even order harmonic distortion which is pleasing, so he left them in there too. Part of the Vibe or MoJo.

Yeah my limited research indicates they produce second order harmonic distortions...my brain just isn't that big...but my smock is nice and white...maybe the two are related...small brain clean smock, big brain...well you get the picture...

Yeah, not all taint is bad. I usually don't inhale.
