Title: SK25 vs SK99
Post by: jyt on February 06, 2021, 07:35:06 PM

What is the difference sonically between the SK25 and SK99, does the SK25 sound more like the API 2520 and the SK99 more like a Jensen JE990?

You are correct.
The SK25 is best suited to high impedance source like high ratio input transformer. It is a little darker than the SK99 and it is nicer when overdriven. So it is close to the API2520.
The SK99 is best suited to lower impedance source like low or medium ratio input transformer. It is also faster than the SK25, so more open and more detailed. So closer to the 990.
Actually both share the same design and the difference is in the value of 3 resistors. The kits contain both sets so you can experiment.

can you put the sk99 in the cp5176?

what op-amps will work in the 5176?

Yes possible.

Most op-amps will.
