I officially have a new favorite preamp tp mate with a Royer R121!! Holy smokes. Been using the audioscape with the 121 on Flute, Tin whistle and mic'ing a Orange 4x12 with greenbacks. Talk about AWESOME SAUCE! I shall post samples at some point. It's finnicky, no doubt, and the sweet spot is as narrow as a Helios. But it is as special as a Helios If you have one, try 2 o'clock on the input and 10 o'clock on the output with a source that is about 50-60db spl, and just adjust the output attenuator. |

Are you driving it hard or are you using it pretty clean? The only times I've used Helios I couldn't really hit it hard, it got ugly fast. Does it sound like a Helios or are they just finicky like Helios? |

Does it sound like a Helios or are they just finicky like Helios? I'm driving it just hard enough to get the cream to rise to the top. And boy, it puts a lovely foam on that audio-latté! It's not quite as finicky as a Helios, but it's that kind of pre. It has a very work-about quality when clean but on the edge of break-up is where it REALLY comes to life. |
