AKG D190 to Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) or (Pleiades V1 or V(-1)) to Sony TC-D5 Pro

This is mostly on investigating whether it is best to gentle low cut just after the mic or at the output of the front end mic preamplifier.


The AKGD190E sounded great connected just to Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) gentle slope high pass filter.


Perhaps with even better high frequency quality with just the V1 (one electron tube one 1.2V battery) mic front end. But if also adding an (R,L) filter made for a too top end sound.


Similarly with the V(-1) terminated by a low inductance transformer, see recent older post. V1 was preferred by Vicky .


Best sound so far for Vicky is:
AKG D190E to Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) to Uher 4200 report recording at half speed and playing back at 7.5ips.  (A transfer of this to cassette had been listened to).
