I've built a few tube preamps and am working on a couple preamps using
the Millennia Media MM-990 JFET module. He has alot of nice vintage
transformers and won't sell you any scrap. It's high end though so
it's
reasonable, but not cheap. He doesn't have alot of time to hold your
hand through a project, but he's treated me very well. I went for top
of the line components and am very happy with them. Good Luck!

Maybe he wants more color and this particular transformer has a sound
that pleases him. Transformers can be a huge part of a warm sound.
I'd
probably be looking at less neutral pres if I wanted color, but then
again, a neutral pre will pass the sound of that transformer quite
accurately, so maybe... Heck, why don't we ask him? Why the
transformers?

Well, I'm going to make the trannies switchable in and out of the
signalpath, so that I can use the more transparent tranformerless
sound aswell. I guess I want a little bit of both worlds.
I listened to a micpreamp with UTC LS-30 transformers on the inputs a
while ago and thought it sounded fabolous. And today I found two UTC
LS-30 in mint condition on Ebay. So I bought them and soon I'm going
to try them out.
It might be better to use them along with a more colored micpre design
(to really get a coloured sound), but I'll probably try the Forssell
design first.

I'm also looking for good output transformer´s. Any tip is
appreciated.
I guess I'm looking for something in the Neve or API style. But
without the high pricetag, if possible.

Anyway, I'm no micpre designer, I just like experimenting and see/hear
what the result will be. And if the first two channels turn out well,
then I'll build me a copule of more channels.
