I'm not sure what i would use for an active pre. Non-tube would be out of the question, I think. Maybe I shoulda kept my last Eico HF85. I would rather keep from putting new, extra stuff in the signal path.Apparently, the guitar amp crowd puts 20uf+ on the cathode of 1st tube to increase gain. Tone effect. The link below is to the calculator for values and frequencies. But is this a hi-fi use? and will it screw with feedback?
I have 12BH7 on phase splitter position . Hi-Q 5814 on input, for now.
