I recently got the Carnhill
I recently got the Carnhill transformers installed in my Golden Age Pre 73, and was very excited. Upon first comparisons to spoken vocal tracks recorded with the original transformers, I didn’t hear too much difference. As I replayed both tracks back and forth for a few minutes, I noticed that both the upper end of the frequency spectrum and the lower end sounded more open and transparent. In addition to that, there was more detail overall in what was being captured. It’s subtle if you’re only listening to a spoken vocal track, but I imagine that this subtlety adds up to being not-so-subtle when you have numerous tracks layered on top of each other through this preamp. Overall, I’m very happy I did this modification, and ZenPro was extremely pleasant, fast, and communicative through the whole process. I would absolutely recommend them.
