Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Re: They should be banished from audio!

IMO, highly restricted is more realistic.

There are some decent sounding circuits built around opamps. Jim Hagerman's "Bugle" phono preamp is a prime example. Jim used passive EQ between opamp sections. No attempt was made to squeeze both gain and EQ out of an opamp section and its associated NFB circuitry.

"Bean counters" PAY ATTENTION! A small extra expense along with some TLC resulted in a BETTER product. 75 cents profit per unit on sales of 2 units is better than a 1 dollar profit on the sale of a single unit. Cheapness can have a negative impact on the bottom line, especially when the buying public is reasonably knowledgeable.
