RE: Tympani 1-D, IIIa tweeter and custom foil mids using DCX2496

Yes, I was using a tube preamp and had to tone it down to keep the max output from overwhelming the inputs to the Behringer. Even so, occasionally the transients from the LP were too much and would saturate the inputs. CD was easy since it has a real maximum. I was using a Garrott FGS or the smaller one (S?) with the Shibata (before I had the FGS stylus put in) which is a very lively and detailed MM. My phono stage has ample gain and today I take down the output by 14db with an L-pad to avoid overloading the SS preamp's input, which is limited to 10V.

I am changing the PLLXO/active hybrid I am using right now too often to have it be driven by the tube pre with its highish output impedance. The SS pre stage is good.

The midrange amp was a tube amp. But I tried it with SS too and the sound issues remained. Aside from having digititis it also sounded like a pro audio device.
