The 583V's current amplifier configuration is that of the 583s with the exception of the output transformer (and the HP & LP filters). The 583s has the Cinemag nickle/alloy CMOQ-2H on the output; the 583v has the Lundahl LL1517 transformer. So far I'm very pleased with the Lundahl’s response. Also, the vacuum tube was an Amperex Bugle Boy as opposed to James' 583s sporting a smooth plate Telefunken tube. This is one of the strengths with the 583 preamp; picking up a couple vacuum tubes for swapping in/out will expand the sonic potential of the preamp quite a bit... [/font][/color]
I believe the vacuum tube difference contributed more to the contrasting sounds between the "S" and "V" variants than the output transformer.
Thanks again James!
