ah ha, yes starved plate like Woody mentions. The only real difference that can happen is when you change from a crappy tube to a good one, or as Gordon Ramsey would say, one that belongs in the bin rather than a good one. ART preamps are cheap and about as minimally functionally as you can get and still legally be called a tube preamp. The evidence is that they have a red LED near the tube to make sure we know, or at least we think we know it actually has a tube in it ! It glows RED, it's gotta be good !

But all that being said, I kinda like mine, it's a dual channel and has the voicing selector switch that does change the EQ characteristics. For $99 bucks I'm happy.
