RE: Do tube preamps add or take away dynamics

Since I like a single point volume control, and the stuff I build is waaaaay too heavy to put onto a stereo chassis, the pre is a useful thing. Gain is a good thing, and since I tri-amp with an active cross over, I like to have one with balanced outputs. It is a matter of of how this is done that can make or break a system.

I tend towards low output Z designs with enough drive to let me ignore silly cables. Just in case it has not been contemplated, the EL84 is a fine signal tube...:)

Cheers,
Douglas
