Part 3: Distortion & Harmonics. Solid-State vs. Vacuum Tubes
On my last blog post (http://www.fivefishaudio.com/blog/part-2-impedances-loading-adventures-in-building-a-tube-based-mic-preamp/), I added a buffer to the output of our vacuum tube stage. This additional buffer stage lowered the output impedance, while presenting a very high input impedance to our vacuum tube stage. This will allow us to couple to the next stage …
