Which preamps to build?
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:04 pm
Hello all,
Ive built my first jlm baby animal pre amp and have it running and I am very pleased with the results (understatement).
The initial pre i built used the OPA2604 & JLM14 combination. Now I'd like to build a few more. The pres are to be used for the standard reqordings - drums, guitars, bass and voice. For drums I will be building 2 matched pres.
Any comments on which opsamp/transformer combos for certain applications and their characteristics would be great.
Can anyone let me know what the advantages of using the jlm input transformers are?
What does variable impendance give when using a pre?
For the time being I will be concentrating on only building baby animals, however down the line i'd love to try out the 99v and and the 1290 so any comments on these is also welcome.
thanks
paul
