Hiya folks,
I've mostly been hanging out in the Pass Labs forum lately, but I've also been a big tube nut for many years, now. I remember falling in love with and subsequently purchasing the Alan Kimmel designed Mu-stage driver upgrade for my Dynaco ST-70. I really dig the concept, and I've been wanting to build something like the Mu stage Mic preamp found at:
http://www.taosnet.com/f10/micpre.html
Unfortunately, Kimmel's TubeLabs webpage has been defunct for a long time, now, and it bums me out. I imagine he's busy designing or teaching or something, but it'd sure be nice to pick his brain sometime in the future when I have some homebrew design actually on the drawing board.
I do console myself with the fact that people here have a tremendous amount of experience to share, too. So it's not the end of the world if he's unavailable these days for comment.
Just wondering if anyone knows.
-Erik.

Actually I have that one already
Thanks Hugo. I'm familiar with that one. That's where I found the Mu Stage Mic Pre schematic. But Kimmel's own website, called Allen Kimmel's Tube Audio Laboratory which used to be at:
www.ratiocinari.com/TubeLabs
and also at:
members.aol.com/tubelabs/
have both been defunct for a while, now. His site was chock full of goodness about Cathode Followers, Mu stage mods/variations, etc...
It'd sure be nice to see him put up another page.

If you want data on mu followers, also look at Gery Pimm's pages. He has lots of brilliant CCS designs that can be used for mu's, tube, sand and hybrid.

The Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org/ may be your friend here. In 2001, he added a robots.txt file to prevent crawlers from archiving his site, but prior to that there are pages in the archive that you can access.

The Wayback machine has most of Gary's site too - see http://web.archive.org/web/20060213054110/http://home.pacifier.com/~gpimm/
However, Wayback only saves images up to a certain size, so many schematics are missing, but all the text and some of the pictures are there...
