vett this is my typical experince with tubes + horns, which are very sensitive. The only tube preamp that I found quiet enough was a Golden Tube SEP-2 or SEP-3. All the others that I tried were so noisy & microphonic (including some very pricey & popular preamps) that I "just said no" to tubes. Try some quality solid state instead.
Why is my Audio Research SP6-b noisy?
I have an Audio Research SP6b pre-amp and it is very noisy-has a very loud hiss.I do have it hooked to a very large
pair of altec lansing VOT horn loaded speakers.I have used
4-5 amps and it stills has the hiss.Is this normal?
I know the horns amplify the hiss because when I hooked it
up to my klipsch speakers it was not as noticable.
Any suggestions.I just replaced the tubes.It does it with
the new tubes and old tubes.Go figure.
Anyone else have this problem?
