Hi,
I need some opinions. I'm thinking about a spring project, weather's getting warmer and I can spend some time in the garage. I was thinking of improving my Quickie with better switches and pot and along comes the BeePree attenuator that I think would be a perfect improvement or definitely worth the effort to see. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I got to drawing the layout for the Quickie and thought about going AC. I stopped work to listen to a spectacularily great song that Grainger introduced me to and wait a minute, my Crack sounds excellent, why not put make a preamp out of it? Now that sheet is trashed and I'm sketching out BeePre volume ==>Crack==>? well the Crack only puts out a couple of mW but I only need 1 good watt so how about a 2A340 backend to some 99dB horns...
So, how crazy or crazily stupid is this idea? Combining a Crack with a SR45; making a modified Stereomour or a Frankenstiened Bottlehead Abomination. I'm thinking external power supply, keep the Crack portion powered by it's own transformer and 2 PT-2's to power the amplifier section. Get Mike to make up some nickle BH-5 and BH-6's, throw in some Obligatto oilers for there mellow sound...
So, if 3 designs are good independantly, will they at least be 2 times better than normal combined?
I realize I could probably just order the Paramounts and get just as good or better, but I've never been one to do things the easy way...so what do you think, is it worth the effort? Are there major technical hurdles?
Thanks for the opinions,
Alonzo
