I used to be a student of David's. He can be a bit of a wally but he really
does know his stuff when it comes to audio. Pity this review is only about
cosmetics though.

By the way, David used to get gear for magazine review, give it to his
students to explore as an assignment then write up their comments as part of
his article. I saw several of my comments appear in magazines supposedly
written by him.

With that low emission, the tube probably will run for a century before
anything happens.

I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't think of using signal ground as a
reference. That was one of the problems.. where to take the ground from.

I'll try that, but not right now since I'm using it ;)

Yes, since I know almost nothing about valve pinouts, I was just going to
look for the highest voltage. I think I've located the connector carrying
the supply voltages, but checking the valve pins themselves will be best.

With my neart-zero knowledge of tubes, I had the impression that the tube
was there to add distortion ("warmth" ) and that's why a low plate voltage is
advantageous, to reduce the linearity.

Scott,

Black thought: what if the starved plate design were marketed as what
it really is: a circuit for introducing a modification (i.e.
distortion) in the signal path to give a "different" kind of sound,
with no reference to what old fashioned tube designs were about.

Would you be able to see such a device as offering yet another color
in the sonic palette?

While understanding this is not a tube preamp. Even the lowly Rolls
RP220 is an actual tube mic preamp.

If they did this, I wouldn't be offended at all. And I'll concede that
the Tube MP, even though it doesn't do what they say it does, is still
a useful tool for grubbing up bass guitar tracks so they come across well
on small speakers.

Yes, although I don't think I'd find it a very useful color. Then again,
the same goes for the Aural Exciter.

Urgh, it looks like there is 11v on pin 1. I'm assuming pin 9 is common
since it has 0v. I can't get much further around since the valve itself is
in the way. The socket is mostly covered so I can't take readings from the
back without a lot of dexterity. Interestingly, there seems to be nothing
on pin 3 (heater.. that can't be right)

Of course, I don't know which of the two triodes is actually being used.

Not conclusive, but it doesn't look good.

If I were to remove the valve entirely, would I still be able to take
readings or is it going to disrupt the circuit and prevent usable
measurement?

If it helps anyone, I think Behringer stole this particular design from the
DBX mini-pre. That's just a guess, though.

** The heaters on a 12AX7 are on pins 4, 5 & 9.

For a 6.3 volt supply, 4 & 5 are linked and 9 completes the circuit.

For a 12.6 volt supply, 4 and 5 are used.

Pins 3 and 8 are the cathodes.

Then why not an 845? The white-hot filament pulls
32.5 watts (as you say, enough to read by), the
large envelope might be impressive, and the
Chinese build completely workable ones cheap.

I'll start writing the ad copy tomorrow.

Warmth *AND* transparency? Good trick. It's fat and skinny. Tall and

Think about it Richard. This does kinda lend credence to the argument
that this particular device is more marketing con job and less serious
audio device.

How can I identify the Reflector models? I ask because
I have some "Made in USSR" 6SN7's bought in <1994 that I
really like, and in comparison to Tungsol's and such;
normally a tough competition.

OTOH, I don't use 'em at anything even remotely like a
small signal level.

Maybe weirder still, I like a couple samples of 6SL7
Russkies from the same era; look like the same "brand".
Not even close to Sylvania's, but "better" than lotsa
6188's floating about. And again, in comparison to
the classics.

Makes me wonder if the stuff Uncie Ned had at that time
was from a different plant, or if the production's
changed, or what? But I'm still runnng the first pair
of 6SN7's at >300 Volts, >14 mA, these many years
later. Emission and linearity holding up.

Thanks very much, as always,

Chris Hornbeck

Just an observation, but really.......does anyone here have an idea what
behringer pays for 3 leds? I know what they would cost me to buy them at a
local electronics store, and it's really not much. While I don't care for
the highlighting of the tube, in a real world money sense it doesn't cost
pennies to do it.

The reviewer didn't critique the sound of the unit or the value vs price for
such a unit. AFAIC he's just another wanker with a web page.

Around a couple of cents each I'd guess from my experience of bills of material

Your knowlege here is good, but you may have missed some of
the the context of Scott's comments.

I know Scott to have a heart for vacuum tubed equipment that
is designed to have clean performance.

Clean-sounding tubed equipment is not an oxymoron - in the
day of tubes there was a lot of tubed equipment that
performed well, both on the test bench and as heard. Some of
this equipment is still around, and if well-maintained, it
sounds really good.

Therefore, Scott considers tubes with more linear
performance to be more desirable. If you haven't caught on,
he's not the least bit happy with tubes in circuits that are
designed to maximize audible distortion.

Do they? I have a huge box of NOS Raytheon ones in the garage so I never
bothered with them except to make sure my headphone amp project would work
with them installed. How do they burn out? Is it a filament failure or
does the cathode get poisoned?

I've had some of both, on one occasion the filament for one half went dead
while the other glowed happily -- didn't know the 6SN7 had parallel
filaments for the two halves. Anyhow, the Sovteks died quickly, while the
Electro-Harmonix tube with which I replaced them take a lickin' and keep on
tickin'. I'm pulling 10.5mA/side (they're paralleled) with 310V on the
plate, a solid load but well within spec limits..

Peace,
Paul

Weird, since Sovtek and E-H are two sides of the same house. Do the tubes
look like they were made in the same place?

Not until someone actually removes the tube and tries to use the equipment, or
sees the schematic. It's disturbing that people would insist the tube is
being used without having employed any means of determining whether it is or
not. What's the big rush to settle this before it can be settled? It seems
like people have a psychological propensity to not have the patience to wait
for information. As far as I'm concerned this is unsettled until it's settled.
I recommend that people try to examine their anxiety over the issue being
unsettled, so that unsettled issues that aren't an emergency no longer cause
anxiety.

Really, well I would've thought you'd have said so when you made your claims
about the unit. You could've settled this thread long ago if this is the truth
but I have noticed in my few weeks of monitoring this newsgroup that there is a
propensity for people to lie about things like this. It's nothing personal, of
course. I just find it odd that it took you this long in the thread to say
that you've even operated one of these units, or taken the tube out, or drawn
out the schematic, or anything that would lend credibility to the claims you
authoritatively make about it.


>I have been through all of this stuff a decade ago here on r.a.p. Where
>have you been?


Wasn't the behringer unit was only released this year? Surely you realize that
you're not making much sense with that statement. I'm starting to get the
impression you've never even had one of these beringers in your hands, and that
you're basing your entire claim on experience with an older product made by
another company!

Sure would be nice if I could take people seriously on this group, but hey,
it's usenet I suppose.

If you had been reading Scott's posts for a few years you would realize
it is not necessary for him to state the obvious. He has opinions, but
those are always clearly framed as such, and he has experience drawn
from the real world. So when he says a particular piece of gear has or
hasn't such-and-such, I know full well he's been in there and seen/not
seen that.

The rec.audio.pro archives hold lots of posts from Scott wherein he
discusses some piece of kit he has dissected.

(You might want to try to grok his garage...)

Scott has very good knowledge of where this stuff comes from, what
precedents exist, and so forth. Further, he posts under his real name
from a valid address. This lends considerable credibility to his
statments. I've met the man and he is who he says he is and he has done
what he says he has done.

Anonymity is a handy thing when one is accusing established posters of
presenting false information. You stand on air. If someone here is not
to be taken seriously, you might find him in the mirror.

Like he said, where you been? More importantly, what have you done?

You look at a picture on the web and propose to discuss the circuitry?

Which newsgroup? This thread is crossposted between several groups, which is
part of the problem. I am reading it in rec.audio.pro.

The ART was introduced nine years ago. The Behringer is just more of the
same. So is the dbx.

Let me reiterate: This Behringer device is basically copying a technique
that ART came up with, and it is a bad technique no matter who is selling
it. The whole concept is a misguided one. A lot of people are using it.

Hard to say, but they certainly don't look like the same tube. Different
shaped plates, very different wafers, the works are mounted in different
parts of the envelope. The Sovtek has a "6H8C" (Cyrillic for 6N8S)
designation screened onto the glass in different ink from the Sovtek info,
and a little logo above that which looks kind of like an @ symbol. The E-H
doesn't have any of that stuff on it.

Peace,
Paul

other groups.

You're probably right, but the matter still isn't resolved because I'm not
convinced you have any actual experience with the unit we're discussing, you're
just making a fairly safe assumption that it is like units you have a lot of
experience with.

Yeah, it sounds like a con to me, as I have stated. But think about this, say
you're Behringer and you know experts like Scott will just assume that you've
copied those other similar units. So why bother even putting the tube in the
circuit, if even experts like Scott aren't going to double-check? I mean, if
they don't put the tube in the circuit, they don't mung the sound - potentially
living up to their claim of 'transparancy', sort of like the Tice Clock or
Shakti Stones. Since they don't distort the sound, and don't do anything at
all, they have a better chance of convicing the listener they're improving on
the sound than if they did distort it in some way.

So, if you don't believe me, take one apart for yourself. While you're
at it, check out the ART unit and a real tube preamp. Peavey will send
you the schematics for the VMP-2 if you ask them, and that's a typical
example of a conventional tube preamp design.

You don't have to believe me. But if you don't believe me, go find out
for yourself instead of droning on about how nobody really knows for sure.

Because I thought it was obvious. I described how the thing worked. If I
hadn't taken it apart, I wouldn't have known how it worked, so I would not
have described how it works.

Then go take it apart for yourself and see. In half an hour you can draw
out the tube stage diagram and save yourself a lot of time posting questions
to which you won't accept the answers people give you.

It was, in fact, a tradition to put extra tubes into things that didn't do
anything. In the thirties when radio was new, radio manufacturers would
advertise the quality of the sets by the number of tubes they had. A
six-tube set MUST be better than a four-tube set, right? One manufacturer
had a twenty-three tube set. I think four of them actually did something,
and the rest just had the filaments wired up for show.

I'm sure somebody out there will be making some "tube preamps" soon with
tubes that aren't even wired up. It seems the logical next step in the
marketing game.

But to be honest, the guys making these things _want_ to mung up the sound,
so that people can listen in the music store and immediately hear that the
thing sounds different than the console preamps. And if it sounds different
and costs more, it MUST be better, right? That's how marketing works.

I have extensive experience with Scott's advice, starting with his reply
to my first-ever post into RAP to find out what was up with my A80's
sync output cards. He has a track record, beyond what he prints to the
Ampex.

It's far easier for him to keep straight what he knows than it is for
some others to keep straight that they don't know much about much of
what Scott knows.

People who don't possess much knowledge may or may not be equipped to
keep in order the litle they possess. I guess you're right in the sense
that a simpleton may not have a lot to track about.

Based on a few year's experience here I'd say a bad move would be to
ignore what Scott says about this kind of stuff. He ain't my hero, he's
a friend of mine, and a damned helpful one.

They did this with tubes too? That's fascinating, because tubes
were "EXPENSIVE" back then.

In the early '70's I took a close look at a handheld transistor
radio, and found two transistors that were 1: wired as diodes, and 2:
didn't seem to have a complete connection to the rest of the circuit.
Only in recent years and thanks to Usenet have I learned that this was
a common marketing gimmick, there were "8 transistor" and "10
transistor" radios that only used 6 transistors in the active
circuitry. They DID have more transistors, but the extras didn't do
anything. Perhaps the extras were just floor sweepings?

Nowadays a portable audio device sounds better than its competition
because it has "more codecs"...

uh huh, right... this is the first thing you said about it: "No, not really. I
think they copied the idea from dbx.". First you said you 'think', now you say

Well OK, but the same applies to every other component in every other
manufacturers' equipment.

If you want to believe that the tubes in say, a Marshall tube amplifier
might not be in circuit, that's your privilege. But it's a pretty stupid
notion, and you can't expect anyone else to go to any effort whatsoever to
perform the test for you, just to satisfy that and any other questions that
pop into your head..

If you want to know, buy one and try it for yourself.

Do you seriously think that Berhinger was the first to make
a SS preamp with a starved-plate tube in it?

In an earlier post I mentioned that I first saw mention of
starved-plate tube amplifiers in the 60s, in Popular
Electronics. I'm sure this was not a new idea, even way back
then.

The Pop-tronix author listed high nonlinear distortion as
one of the disadvantages of starved-plate operation.

Some decades later someone else saw the high nonlinear
distortion as an advantage.

There's a scanned copy of the Radiotron Tube Designer's
manual on the web. Without referring to the one on my hard
drive, I'd bet money that starved-plate operation was
discussed there. Most of this book dates back to the 1950s
or earlier.

The point is that in audio, newbies and relative newbies
often vastly underestimate how much that seems new is
actually very old. And, its not just the newbies. I have
some friends who are old hands in the business, who have
come up with a neat idea and decided to patent it. They did
their due dilligence and found out that it was mentioned by
Kellogg or Olson way back when. Do you even know who Kellogg
or Olson were? ;-)

You're going to open one up and draw the schematic, right?

I suggest Googling a few hundred of Scott's posts. Advanced Group Search
with him as poster, and mic preamp terms out to keep you busy for a
short while at least. That way you'll get a grip on whereof he speaks.
