I've just got a brand new, still in the original packaging Altec 1612b (you read right). First question is regarding powering up a vintage yet un-used NOS unit. I've heard this could actually be detrimental to have no power run through an older unit. Any suggestions?
Secondly, assuming it don't blow up ;-), I'm considering plugging in a Peerless 4665 into the mic pre octal on the back. However, never read a word on anyone doing this. Not sure if it's even feasible?
It seems like it may work but it's a pretty radical step-up in impedance.
Thank you, in advance for any wisdom on these topics!
