Looks good to me! What I don't understand, how does the signal path stay fully balanced (as the text says) when it goes through the input transformer?

Hey All, Thanks for the interest. The pre has been a lot of work and yes it's named after my dog.  The pre is fully differential, a simplified block diagram can be found here: http://www.hairballaudio.com/diy_images/Lola-Block.jpg The faceplace is a nod to the old Neve 1073 input, a clone of which is used in this pre. They were finished with a hammered paint. The finish is very cool in person and the text size has already been increased for the production faceplate (a prototype is pictured). Details can be found at Hairball Audio - Lola Mic Pre Thanks! Mike |
