Aphex preamps

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Is there any way to remove the tube (and its associated 'warmth') from the
audio circuit of the Aphex Tubescence preamps to make the useable?

Just get an 1100, Dave. ;-)

I'm thinking that it's either a 107 or 207 (It's not my preamp).

I believe that this is a107- the ones that were marketed a few years back
as having 'real tube warmth'.

Right. Just making the point that the Aphex 1100 is not in the same league as
the lower 107, 207. Some folks seem to think that they are all similar.

Aphex makes at least one other premium preamp that comes as eight remote
controllable pres. I don't recall the model number at the moment.
