Silver-1 Tube Preamp - !!! PROJECT ON HOLD !!!

I'm good on tube pre amps, but I love the idea........very cool.

Jesse your Joule sounded absolutely amazing at the Fest........

Online, direct, and no stores for now.

CARVERaudio probably.

If I had the matching 'Silver Sevens' to run, I might be able to talk myself into it. I don't.

I tell you what I could get excited about, though. A limited production run of the Sunfire Classic Vacuum tube Control Center. I would pre-order one one without a moments hesitation. I'm about to give up and build a Tanscendent Grounded Grid Pre.

Sorry for being off topic.

Is this Pre-Amp two pieces?, if so, what does the part on the left do?

What does the meter show?



Thanks,

Yes, it's 2 seperate units the smaller unit on the left is the power supply, and the larger unit on the right is the preamp itself.

Here is a copy and paste from another thread on this unit.

^^^^ What he Said ^^^^

That pre-Amp is Hot!, I want one!

This came from a member on the CP forum,, the remote is called your HAND,,usually attached to your arm.

Yeah, we had thought about a remote, and Bob advised against it. He said this preamp is WAY too high end to put a remote in it. I guess this preamp is similar to the Lightstar reference amplifier... No concerns for cost. As where the C-19 and Sunfire tube pre's were "production" units.

I mean, this was to be the matching Preamp to the Silver-7 amplifiers... THAT's pretty high end !!!

What is interesting, however, is that he had the board fab'd (with silkscreening and all). You'd think Bob could come up with the CAD on that, or tell you where it was done.

Hehe.

are there plans to do a few more silver seven tube amps as well? I could be down for a pair if they fall into the same price range for the set................

The 15 tube Silver 7 tube amps were orginally a $20K+ proposition and the Stretch 20 tube versions were supposed to be in the $25k range; I'm not sure that they could be reproduced for much under that today and certainly not in the $5 to $6k range.

For 5-6k you can get Bob's new amps...

To make Silver-7's and Silver-9's would be $30k + today easy.
