tittle says it all. what is impedance? im getting a tube preamp. and it has variable impedance. googles not helping me much right now so i thought id come here. any one?

If you are buying a tube pre with variable impedance... very good. This means that the pre has a switch that will select different taps on the input transformer, giving the microphone a different load. This brings out some nice qualities in some mics, particularly vintage mics with transformer outputs. Some mics will not be affected at all.
If you have or plan to have some vintage mics. This type of pre may work very well for you.

Ok... well then... Impedance that is not fixed... that you can change...that first reply by mofo went right over my head.
yeah, but I hate to mention those types. IMO, they usually don't sound that good.
Hopefully, the unit he is getting has a switch for taps...

...how's that?
Well let's see. The units you like aren't cheap, because multitap input transformers and rotary switches are very expensive parts. A pot is cheap. He doesn't know what impedance is, so do you think he just dropped $1K+ on a pre?
If you "hate to mention" gear like the ART Gold series, you will probably end up feeling very uncomfortable here, because most people here don't have high-end budgets.
lol how did you know that's what i was getting??? is the Art Gold the only tube mic preamp with variable impedance(under 1k)?
That doesn't have anything to do with folding paper does it?Ignorami
Like folding schematics into little paper birds...That doesn't have anything to do with folding paper does it?
Exactly. And then trying to assemble the kit without unfolding themLike folding schematics into little paper birds...
yes, especially for trany output mics.
What mic do you use?
