If anyone is curious still about the preamp I use with the Sarah, made a second video.
Inwould post the link but my “probation” is not done yet, so I dont have the rights yet to share a link. (Good security).
I use a Melody 1688 signature
The second video i talk about the sound differences with my pre vs without, and some of the tube rolling possibilities.
Although I mispoke about the Vr tubes, I said they all had to be matched. But I have re-read the manual, and it’s not exactly that. Considering its not causing a risk of damage on the amp by always having them matched in those 3 slots, I did not remake the video just for that line and thise who read the manual will know what they can do.
I find it flabergasting still that many say a rectifier makes no sonic differences but these same people seem to have tube rolled everything else. Heck, even the same type recrifier of different brands makes a difference
Anyway, dont want to start rants, wont say more.
What a fantastic amplifier!
