Good Lord. By chance I came across a bag of ancient LM301s in metal can
the other day. Amazing what's lurking in odd corners.
The scary thing is that Studer used the 301s in a bunch of consoles and
actually managed to make them sound good. I'd never have believed it if
I hadn't heard it for myself. Part of the secret is to never put more
than 20dB of gain on any one stage, it seems.
And be very cautious about output levels and loads, and use feedforward
configuration whenever you can.
Feedforward ? I have a dim recollection of that. Was a cap involved that
bypassed some of the internals ?
