It has the same power indicator as the first generation m118/48 pre's.  It appears to have stepped gain.  What are the steps?

It goes from 20 to 70db's of gain in 10 db steps- I'll let everyone know how it turns out- the guy I got it from bought it and never got a chance to use it- not one minute

We going to try this at Odyssey fest? Let's try it with the 480's.

A bird told me you just got some 460's also? Are they modded?

I never sent off the Keller show.....just thought about it. Came out fantastic. I'll just give it to you then.

Not real sure yet. I'm thinking V2 or maybe the 316 in the yard sale now. I can run it off the same 12V as the 500e.

Either way I'm about 300 bucks short at the moment. In the next week or 2 I should be good to go. As long as I can find what I want.

I got the cooper today and it looks sweet- totally mint and the guy even sent a 4pack of 9v's and a book on stereo recording techniques. I'm pumped!!

Post by: Kindguy on March 28, 2004, 02:44:17 PM
Hell yea! guess we'll see how it sounds in a few weeks.

I'm putting the $$$$ for the V2 aside. Hoping I can scrounge enough up for callery's 148 real soon before it's gone.

Post by: jpschust on March 28, 2004, 04:37:42 PM
honestly- i cant immagine why you would buy the 316 other than for the novelty that its old.  ive heard some studio stuff done with it put next to the grace 101 and the v2- i have a very very hard time telling the difference.  
Title: Re:Cooper pre
Post by: Kindguy on March 28, 2004, 06:26:25 PM
It's also a little big IMO never heald it so maybe I'm wrong. The only reason i considered buying it was to run off the same 12V as the 500e.

It's a cool unit. But I'd rather have a V2.

Jeff-

Yes I do. Would love to run this package before I buy one.
I'll run the 500e behind it.  

Thanks Tad your the man! T+'s as usual!

Yeah it is fast,
I talked to Jim Williams and emailed him and I should have them back by Oddessey fest.

They're going out tomorrow so it will be soooo sweet.
Now I just need to find something to put in front of the mod-sbm-1.
