But then "conventional wisdom" is a perjorative, isn't it?Passive pre-amps are dynamics killers
Too little gain is the dynamics killer, the Kit One has a pre-driver, read pre-amp stage, the 6SN7TJ Mesh is designed for lower power
JacMusic is entitled to their opinion but the mesh, atually a perforated screen was designed to allow longer longevity at rated power, see Duncan's amp pages linkThe elimination of the by-pass cps has been commented on before and Brian has stated not to do it; perhaps the recommendation attributed to PQ has become urban legend; Brian is in the UK with Peter several times a year
Go ahead and try your TJ's, EH's and EML's, but not the XBLS and don't bother with a pre-amp. I've said it before, why would you want 2 carbon pots in the way of the music.
