Sorry if my question wasn't clear.
Meant in the context mainly of the manifold "toob" mic pre's that normally
sell for much less than their "true" tube counterparts ala Manley.
My understanding is that a "plate design" has less voltage going though it.
They seem to carry a stigma that made me wonder if it was feasible to
make one to rival the real thing, or if the inherent design doomed it to
eventual Banjo Depot hell.
