Electric & Company EC6 Preamp
Deluxe production version of the classic EC600/Ampex 601 amplifier circuit with EF86 and 12AU7 tubes, Cinemag input and output transformers, and boutique film/foil polypropylene capacitors
Product Description
The Electric & Company EC6 is essentially a deluxe production version of their EC600 preamplifier circuit(Stereo 6, Ampex 600 Series). The EC6 utilizes upgraded Cinemag Input and Output Transformers, polypropylene film/foil caps, PEC pots, and a special blend of Holco, Dale, and Ohmite resistors. The EC6 preamplifier employs a high gain EF86 pentode tube in the first position, with a low gain 12AU7 twin triode tube in the second and third positions. No negative feedback is employed in the first stage, which adds a distinctive edginess, and presence to the sound.
The EC6 can be run conservatively for a "sweeter" sound, or can be pushed for additional harmonic content and slight compression. If you have never heard one of these, then you owe it to yourself to try one. Nothing else sounds like it.
