No more big power supplies for preamps

We certainly beleive in the quality of a power supply whether its an amp, preamp or anything else. This is not to say that you have to have a huge, separate power supply for good results. Size does not matter if the design is not up to par. Doesn't matter how big and impressive looking it is if its not doing what it is suppose to do properly.
I would take a small, simple PROPERLY DESIGNED power supply over a huge, separate flawed design. Same goes for any circuit design.

2300VDC B+?!?! Certainly one of thos "keep one hand behind your back" situations when working with these. Impressive yet DEADLY. What kind of current are you dealing with.

And I thought 1000VDC+ for 805/845 type tubes was crazy.

"...A "half full" chassis..."

A half full power supply chassis can still mean a proper circuit. Maybe the designer didn't want the power supply in the same chassis as the main circuit and/or simply did not have enough room in a single chassis for both circuits.

Very impressive Ait. Anybody that goes to that kind of extreme, obviously enjoys the hobby. I like to keep custom, over the top builds to preamps. I have had a few customers that wanted very extreme preamps and if they can't afford something in the Purity Audio line, such as an Ultra GT, they usually have me custom build something from the Musica Bella line.
I like unique designs as well. I am now working on some "Newstolgic" pieces bringing back the idea of integrated table top consoles for a unique lifestyle product.
I will never get involved in a tube amp at the level of yours.

In the Purity line, we do have a pair of single ended PSE 300B mono lblocs that use technology that has never before been seen in the industry. Mostly in the design of the output transformers. As you know, such inovention does not come cheaply.

Please note this post is not intended to come across as a sales pitch. It's just nice being involved in a thread where we can express our ideas that not everyone in the hobby can appreciate.

Too many threads turn in debates and attacks.

I am looking forward to see the completion of these amps and will follow your other thread now with great interest.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program!
