For years I tried to clean up Ch 1 in my IIC+, but there always was a content of mid to low freq dist that just couldn't get dialed out completely, no matter how far down the gain or the treb was set... it wasn't a show stopper so just kinda lived with it. However if I ran the IIC+ preamp into my Mark V:90 power amp it was a different story, very clean and articulate. Figured the preamp was fine. It really wasn't until recently, reading a few old posts here WRT to tubes that I got to trying an 12AT7 in the PI.
Well that finally solved it and have noticed no loss of gain with other settings or changes in playing dynamics. AFA I can tell it's a win-win.
