@bluorion I think I lucked out off the bat with zero noise tubes running in my crazy high gain system. Clearly an aberration.
im debating throwing down on AVA’s Vision SLR (solid state) preamp and seeing what the difference is.
Upscale sent a follow up email and said my system as it sat (no attenuators) would have some noise. That I didn’t have any off the bat was luck. Which is the conclusion I had already come to. I still may go with a 6db pair and see how much noise comes though. The 13db pair in now makes the system dead quiet.
im curious to know, just for my knowledge, if an 18db gain preamp with a 12db attenuators makes it a 6db gain preamp or if it’s non linear or there’s other electrical things at play.
