When you can use a simple LC / CR / LCR type power supply for a DHT preamp supply? Won't the additional tubes in the regulation circuit adds additional tube noise? My take on this is a well designed LCR or LC or CR power supply with very good regulation will have a minimal ripple and voltage will not sag under load (for tube preamp). I understand the benefits of regulated power supply for the Amps but for preamps, is there any reasons to add additional tube noise to the B+ supply? . . .Thou shall not stand where I type for I carry a bottle of Certified Audiophile Air and a Pure Silver Whip. |
