What's the best combination of 5Y3 rectifier and 12AT7 tubes for the DARED SL-2000A preamp?
Follow Ups:
The 5V4G rectifier tube arrived this morning and I've listened to it in the Dared and it's great! I didn't think it would make such a sonic impact but it does. Normally I have to listen for a week or so before making up my mind about changes I make but this one is pretty immediate.
Again, highly recommended for the SL-2000A.
Right now I'm using the stock 5Z4P rectifier with Amperex BB 12at7. I have a 5V4G rectifier on the way to try out. I've read the 5V4G is a very good replacement but still plan on using the Bugle Boys with it tho.
I've been very impressed with the SL-2000A preamp too.
Are you getting the Brimar 5V4G rectifier?
Actually no. I found a nos Sylvania 5V4G and replaced the stock 5Z4P with that and it really is an improvement. I've been told that a rectifier is a rectifier and there shouldn't be an improvement but I'm going to have to say that is not the case.
I've been very impressed with the Dared pre and now I'm even more so.
I guess everyone's mileage varies but I did notice an improvement.
Can the SL-2000A function as a phono pre-amp?
In short, can I plug the phono into the line-in?
No... you'd have to get a phono preamp, and connect THAT into a Dared input.
