Bill,

Looking at the production unit it says that the output impedance is 180ohms?  Is the 800ohms for the pre-production one correct or just a typo?  Also, on the gain which says 13 v/s 17.

Hi Deepak.
 All production unit Purity Series preamps utilize transformer coupling outputs which gives us the 180 ohm output impedance. This particular unit does not have balanced outputs therefore does not use any output tranformers which gives us the 800 ohm output impedance.

 This piece is also set for 13dB of gain.

 Hi Chris,
 yes, I did take it he was serious about a new preamp. I, however, was not serious about the "step up" comment as could be seen with the laughing rolly thingy.

Evan, you are mor ethan welcome to contact me if you would like more information on the Purity preamps. What features are you looking for or require?
Title: Re: Purity One Custom Linestage - Pre-Production chassis
Post by: Response Audio on November 04, 2010, 12:06:29 PM
If a more attractive price might help, send me an offer. I am only trying to offer non-production units at a good price to clear the racks and this is the last piece left.  The only downfall is that I am busy now with Purity Reference and Statement orders so it could be a while before I get pieces built for the showroom.

Oh - you're killing me!

Unfortunately, I'd doubt you'd let the unit go for what's in my pocket - gum, lottery ticket, pocket knife, comb missing teeth. Now if the ticket hits, then we can talk.

What kind of tubes?

I fear after listening to tubed preamps, my passive pre is not getting the job done for me.

The Nervosa has hit me hard and deep.

Gene,

The Purity One is based on 12au7 similar to the Bella you heard.

Yep ,Bob's Spirit 1's. He actually played with the xover before shipping them to me and I hated what he did .So with his guidence and a wire cutter and a snip here and a snip there I put the xovr back to the way they were like in his demo pair (hint,hint)

I don't know about anti-pollution, but the Amish are always coming down the street selling whatever is in season, (the blackberry jam and bread & butter pickles are silly!), and there's always a pile of horse flop in front of my house.

Gene is not too far off mostly due to trying to take care of my mother.

But I bounce in some forums to keep my sanity (OK Gene, what's left of it).  I guess it took me awhile to figure out what was missing over at AC.

Audiowise it feels like I'm just sticking my head out of the rabbit hole.

And Evan, I'm still using the mover's blanket for sound control in front of my 60" display.  That was a great idea.  Thanks.

Thanks Bill. 

But I can't say it was purely altruistic since I became unemployed first.

Anyway, it looks like the guys I know here like your gear!  And it also looks like your getting some good industry recognition.  Congratulations and hope you do well in spite of the economy.

So Bill, what do you think would have better synergy with the Purity One?,

- 1 matched pair of Telefunken 12AU7/ECC82 Ribbed Plates West Germany
- 1960s era Amperex
- RCA cleartops.

I noticed the reviewer on your site really liked the Amperex, seems like he reviewed a Purity One not much different than this pre-production unit.
Title: Re: Purity One Custom Linestage - Pre-Production chassis
Post by: Response Audio on November 25, 2010, 03:33:55 PM
Synergy really depends on a lot of personal taste, associated equipment and the room. What I like or what works in my system in my room may not do it for you. I really like the RCA cleartops but find the Raytheon (made for and marked Baldwin) to be the best tube in my arrangement.

The best inexpensive NOS tube I have found is the Sylvania 5814. Musc beter than any current production and can be found for less than $10 ea.

I like a very crisp, clean and fast presentation with lots of air and micro detail. Probably one of the reason I also like a lot of silver wiring in my systems.

This is a nice piece of audio gear.

Gene, It was a pleasure meeting you in person as well. Glad you made it home safe. We have another 5 inches of snow on the ground now and I just came in from shoveling the driveway. I'm really starting to hate winter more and more every year. :duh

 Be sure to keep us posted as you play with different tubes.
