Just bought a Siemens/Telefunken V272 preamp. Anyone have any tips for making it work as a standalone preamp? Mounting, pigtail, power supply? TIAbaretak
Follow Ups:
baretak,I have long admired the "V" series of Telefunken preamps and looked at V72-76-79s but was put off by the need to complete them with power supplies and etc. I see these in the US looking like they were kept in a barn for 30 years and still expensive.
If you read German, you might visit "Onkel Frihu's" Forum in Germany where these come up often in conversation. Frihu's Forum is serious, serious on technical issues!

Several posters there have built clones of these V series preamps and many use rebuilt originals with home-brew power supplies- which seem like the only logical approach to these to make them stand alone.
There is also a poster on Frihu's "mb" or "mb-de" whose technical English is perfect and you could also write for advice in English with "MB" in the title. He's very helpful and uses cloned V series amps himself. I have somtimes posted in German and the replies are in English (thank god)!
If you don't know German, you can try a simple translation program like the free AltaVista Babel Fish.

-input a simple request for a power supply schematic and parts and then you can later paste and re-translate replies.
I don't know the V272 specifically, but these series do seem to be sought after and well thought of sonically.
Also, there are units, parts and schematics for these sometimes on www. ebay.de as they are much more common in Germany than in the US.
I'd be interested to hear how this works out.
Cheers,

Hello Bambi B ,
all the V 72/74/76 and so on have their own built-in 220 Volt AC power supply . The amps from the 272/274/275 line are all for a common 24 Volt DC from a separate power supply , they are all solid state . For the tube versions , I have all circuit diagrams and also most of this amps , because I collect them for many years . A friend used this in a huge mixing console with Neumann microfones and a Telefunken M 5 taperecorder . Faders are W68 or W85 from Eckmiller and for monitoring two V 73 , 4 Watt amps ( 2x EF 804s and 2xEL 42 , sounds excellent ). For further questions , e-mail me , but in Germany , the time is now 0.45 , so I will answer next day .
Regards , AlexK.
