I'm considering a Balanced Golden Gate.
It appears that the balanced GG has RCA inputs as well as XLR’s - correct?
Another thread talked about removing the front tube pair to run in SE mode. With this configuration, one could audition a tube pair (type), before buying 4. Is this possible? Does it make sense?
If, one ran the GG singled ended, should/could just 2-tubes be used? Or would the SQ be better single ended, with all 4 tubes?
With the Balanced GG, how important is tube matching? Assuming it’s important to use matched DHT’s, should they be matched in quads, or is ok to match pairs, or …?
I seem to recall reading that one balanced Lampi owner, actually used different pairs of tubes from different manufacturers. Is that prudent? If so, talk about tube rolling combinations!
