Pantheon Audio's next project appears
to be centered around the goal of getting the most music and soul
out of a line stage. I set down to draw a design and layout that
I found appealing while keeping some goals of separating the PS
from the drivers (see above). We found this heading down an ultimate
Pantheon 6SN7 SRPP type solution with Jensen Copper PIO and Tantalums
with 5R4GY tube rectification; controls would be necessary attenuation
and source switching(3). Jeff then brought up the 5687 as a near
ultimate driver after I was studying the Emotive Audio Poeta.
So here we stand debating back and forth.
After the 12th email, I had descended to topics such as, "why
not go ahead with tube regulation and stop messing around?"
Jean-Francois was about to put his head in his own hands and twist
with glee. The hole punch was not even pulled out of the drawer
and ye olde end-of-the-rope had already been summoned. It was
not a pretty sight.
