Misho Myronov tube wooden preamp!

Good stuff. Everyone who's seen the Wooden Preamp has been impressed by the build quality. I spoke to Misho about isolation footers before receiving mine, and he dissuaded me from the need to try them. Based on the solid wood enclosures, he didn't feel there'd be a need for them. I have to admit he is right. I've tried Isoacoustic Bronzes, Indigo, and Stacore (roller footers) to no avail. So far, I'm sticking with the ebony feet that came stock with the preamp.

Hi! I'm wondering what you have tried as we don't make roller footers (yet) :)
Cheers,

On a separate note, I'll encourage preamp users to try to score a pair of Telefunken C3Ms. They're less lean and more dimensional compared to the Siemens and I actually prefer them.
 
I'm planing my schedule for 2020, so it's a good time to stsrt talking to me if you want one :)

For all who are thinking about purchasing this wonderful preamp, I highly recommend pairing it with an RFT EZ81 (not EZ80) and Telefunken C3M tubes. The impact of these two upgrades made an already outstanding preamp, great, in my book. The RFT EZ81 can be had for ~$30, and the Telefunkens can be had for ~90/pair.
 
Thank you dear Etor!

Tube rolling is a big fun, and despite the fact that my amps are using not very common tubes, there are still be a place for it.

Rectifier can be ez80 or ez81, there are wide selection of the makers.
Only three C3m makers as far as I'm aware of - Siemens, Telefunken and Lorenz.

Thanks, Misho. I didn't mean to insinuate that the preamp doesn't accept EZ80s, rather that the RFT EZ81 is significantly preferred over the RFT EZ80 in my system. I used bad wording there.

I'm yet to try a Lorenz C3M - I need to get my hands on a pair.
 
Oh, I'm absolutely sure that you love the Wooden Pre with its stock tubes, and I do know and understand that tube rolling is a very fun process, and often can help to ajust the overal sound to very best.
As a builder I'm using the best posdible tubes I can obtain in quantities, so I'm leaving the fun of tube rolling to my friends - the Wooden Amp users :)

Received a stock of Telefunken C3Ms yesterday. Wanted some spares, and also wanted to see if the non-engraved logo versions (supposedly from a different time period) sound different than the engraved ones I already have.

It will be interesting to hear about sound difference!
Also, the different year of production, or plant the tubes were made on can affect the sound dramatically.
In case of such a special tubes as C3m or C3g the differencies should not be huge, but...
 
From what I understand, C3g should NOT be used. The voltage requirement is different and it will burn up in the preamp designed for the C3m.

Absolutely correct! This is a different tubes, despite being quite close.
Different filament voltage - C3m has unusual 20V filament (heater), and C3g has more typical 6.3V filament.
C3m and C3g has more differencies, including pinout.
 
Thank you so much Misho for posting that for us to read. Extremely important.

Please keep up the great work you do and wishing you continued success in all you do and create.
 
Thank you very much!

I'm happy that people around the Globe using my amps, and really like my work.
It's really inspiring!
 
Paul and I have to be honest Misho, after trying many different pieces of gear and being disappointed, we always come back home to your Wooden combo. Ultimate satisfaction.
