I´m not looking for bankruptcy though, nor for lego jewels...

Wow, that's expensive.

The OP-6 was used on some of the greatest recordings of the past

Hilarious.  The cheapest of the RCA portable options for remote voice work (you know, down at the new grocery store opening), very little chance any were ever used on important recordings.  Those on recordings would be all the other RCA preamps for install use.

with each pairing an adjustment to the input transformer (inside the unit) is required to adapt it to the optimum impedance.

Another grand stretch.  With the original, is the source Z 30-50 range, or is it 150-250 range?  Do you really have others that don't fit that description?  Just say it has a switch to change input transformer taps.


Man ad copy sucks these days, it's rarely even accurate. 

I can't imagine why anyone wants to put a condenser into a tube preamp with 90 dB gain.  If that question doesn't make sense to you, I have trouble thinking you understand gain-staging in tube preamps. 

Anyone know what tubes they used, speaking of accuracy? 

sorry can't hear you over 90db of tubes  ;D

Ive had parts laying around for this for ages. Just finding it hard to pop my turret board cherry.

I can't imagine why anyone would not drop the 3500 on a nice condenser instead of a mic pre.

I've been seeing Google ads for this reissue for 6 months or more, yet no mention of it anywhere.
