The construction of this pre amp is a model of its kind,
rigor and a choice worthy of the best component of Siemens and Telefunken preamp,
but with a more modern course.
can be seen in the drawing drastic choice, not a capacitor on the signal from another, well almost, 1!
that the amplification evening hybrid IC / lamp is also very original, making it possible to have the best of both worlds, the precision of a high-end IC and smoothness of the lamp in the rise time.
The beautiful work, beautiful construction (hand assembled), which revives a great story material "Made in France", Publison, Girardin, Bouyer .....
Manley, Tubetech, Fearn et al had better watch out!!

UTILIZATION

Could not be more simple,

big plus, the choice of impedance of the input signal, useful for vintage microphones!

big plus, too, setting separate input gain and output gain, and viewing pre / post gain seen in

will only very shadow on the table,
Ergonomic symmetrical design of the front panel, but it's really a detail.

SOUND QUALITY

A word

Superb!!
respect of tones and soft colors make possible a pre amp of choice.

if you are looking for against the lamp drool go your way ....

OVERALL OPINION

I had this test in pre amp in my studio for two days
is short, but enough to make me a strong idea and create beautiful mood.

But then, I did because I did not acquire mastering ...

but it has been tested in my chain as output gain near cranesong stc8 / ibis, Focusrite Blue 330, Gyraf g14, and EQUASIS neumann comp ...

and I just tell you one thing, he kept his head held high!

to the point that I think very seriously about asking the designer to make me a version suitable for online use or mastering build a forwarding table based on it
