Pre to go with ADK LE's
« on: October 19, 2003, 03:40:46 PM »
Right now I've got the LE's going to an ad-20 and it sounds good...but I think a really nice pre behind these will make them sound even better.  Ideally a V3 would be best but my pockets aren't that deep.  Any ideas or thoughts?  MokE? Jason B?

I'd guess a ua5 with whatever mod best suits your tastes, warm or presence.

Mike I was hoping you'd jump in on this! :)   My thought is either a used V2 or a presance mod ua-5.  I feel like and warm sounding pre (apogee, mp2 etc) is not the way to go.  Mike....why do YOU run the V3 and not a minime?  Maybe it'll help me figure out what I'm after. :D

Thanks Mike....A and C were what I was hoping for.  The ADKs sound really natural themselves and hopefully I can scrounge up the $$ for one of the above pre's.....a V3, short of winning the lottery, is out of the question!   V2......my new goal! :P

While I think the v2 would sound nice with the LE's, I don't know that it would rid you of that ad20 sound - detailed, yet thin and a bit bright.  You'd have to move to a different a/d converter, so the cost of a new pre & a/d would push you near that of a v3.  I've been running a warm mod ua5 with my A51TL's for some time now and I've been very happy with it.  I had a presence mod for awhile and thought it sounded too bright with the TL's.

Go with the mod ua5, save your pennies, then sell it to move up to a v3 when you can.

The setup would be:

ADKs -> V2 -> d7....no a/d in there other than the d7s a/d.    I was pleased when I was running 393s->mp2->d7 so I imagine I'd be really happy with the adk/v2 combo.   You think the a/d is critical??

I just saw a used v2 for $575 - a great deal btw.  Still, for less $, I'd recommend ADK> (warm or presence) mod-ua5> d7.  I've run v2>d7 a few times when my apogee was in the shop or I needed to go small and it doesn't sound nearly as nice as v2> hq a/d or even v2> dap1 or m1.  Is it "critical"?  No, you'd still hear some benefit over the ad20, but I think you'd really be limiting the performance of the v2 by running it through the d7's a/d.

Thanks guys....I guess I'm underestimating the mod ua-5.  

Time to save my pennies!  :P

some TL>wmod for download on Archive.org.

http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=4583

Here's a Kimock show I recorded earlier this year with the TL>wmod-ua5 rig.  There are a few other sources on Archive to compare (Soundfield, Schoeps).

Another TL>wmod-ua5 - Will Bernard/Motherbug.
