Posted by SoCalAl on 2023-03-07, 09:46:57 (70.95.220.92)
I'd like to ID a Mullard F31 smooth plate. No etched code, taller flat top with a dimple, looks like a Philips with a fat base. Identical internal construction (to my eye) to another F31 date code .......

It was my understanding that the main "benefit" using this thing was to "eliminate or reduce" impedance mis-matches between various components, not in trying to "get a tube sound". Hey, it wouldn't be .......

The FET-Nine actually DOES use an outboard power supply; I'm just curious about how a decent tube preamp would work. The SA/3 IS one helluva' great amp. .......

What are the differences? I spoke with Leonard at ARC today who said the only change was to the power supply; different resistor values he believes were the only change. No sonic difference. What's yo .......
