Balanced tube buffer?
« on: 26 Jan 2017, 11:16 pm »
Hey guys, does anyone make one of these?  Looking to put it b/w my balanced pre and balanced monoblock amps.  No gain needed.

DIY solutions are cool too.

Thanks,
Jim

Joseph Chow at Audio Horizons offers an optional balanced version. I've been very satisfied with the TB 5 for quite some time. Check it out.

The IFI Itube2 is over the top, based off of this balanced model.

I believe Schist's new balanced preamp, Freya, can be used a buffer of sorts.

Do you mean b/c it can be run in Passive" mode?

Eastern Lectric has a booster buffer tube preAmp, totally awesome, but only on the used market now.

Schiit Freya - yes, it has a passive stage and a JFET buffer stage.
