Have you tried any other rectfiers with an adapter in place of the 80 tube?

My point is the Preamp may not feel happy with an adapter as this in itself is another source of signal path intrusion. Of course worth trying to compare, but in my book it is not necessary. The 80 is remarkably inconspicuous. The beauty of this Pre is its contribution to body and gain with barely a tradeoff. Part of this achievement stems from the 80's traits. By all means give it a try and please report back.

You are so right. I think I will just stay with the 80 on the LP-27a. I've got plenty different ones to roll.

The LP27a is designed for an 80 or 5Y3. You will likely have an early 4th of July if you try anything else. The Inspire amps are where you can experiment with rectifiers.

Not sure about that. If you go back a couple years here you will find that those of us with octal rectifier sockets in our linestages have tried every rectifier we have tried in our amps to varying degrees of satisfaction. That being said I have not with my lp-27a. If I was still rolling like a mad man as before I would confirm with DH and have at it. |
