Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.

I just read something:

People don’t want advice, just confirmation

I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.

I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

The question I would ask is,"Is it from the ROLAND DARK Sound Laboratory or the Roland DARK SOUND LABORATORY?"

Why do you wish for 12AU, T, or X7s?

They are popular, simple, the goof ball valves are NEVER a good choice for a build, just a cheap way. 50 cent valves in surplus Russia.. LOL

I know exactly why they used them.. They can!!

They are not the only ones to use TV tubes to build stuff.. 6NS7 very popular NOW, sure wasn't 25 years ago..
WHY, surplus and cost.. they use to be dirt cheap, surplus.. Carys favorite valve..

Order one from China next time, just to mix it up a little.

Reasonable gamble for a relatively low price. Only advice I have is I would not hook directly into your main system right away. If you have some spar components that you don't care about then feed into them first and see how it goes.
