Thanks for the input guys. It sounds way better inverting the speaker leads. I really don't have a problem with replacing the tubes as often as has been indicated. I view it as normal maintenance like changing the oil in my car. I pulled the top and the board indicates it is a Modulus II and manufactured in '85. Amazing. Everything is really quiet. No noise in the switches or controls. Luckily for me a local friend has a large selection of tubes for me to try, a couple of tube testers and is willing to give me an education on such issues. Thanks again.
Original Audible Illusions Modulus question
Hi all,
I recently purchased an original Audible Illusions Modulus preamp and have been trying to determine if it is phase inverting. As I'll be going to pick it up at the Post Office today and play with it all weekend it would be nice to hook up things correctly the first time. I realize I can try things both ways, but...
Also, any insights you guys might have about this preamp will be appreciated as it comes without owners manual and the manufacturer's website doesn't offer much help with this piece. I believe it was made about 1982. It has a tube mm phono stage and no outboard power supply. The power cord is didicated. Tubes, tweaks and cautions are the advice I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for your help.
