Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

My Cayin A88T integrated amp is made in China, first rate, sounds terrific. Politically I'm a 'One World' type.

thanks for the link, seems like he/they know what they are doing.

SP10 may sound good, but I would order his SP14 K1 with remote, assembled, probably go for the pricey mundorf caps.

It has separate left/right gain, a nice feature when using mono blocks.

I expect it to love Jazz, it certainly will when I finish breaking it.

this one would have been a good domestic option if it was listed when I was looking

In my best russian accent "Don't Vorry, we make guud for you!

In my opinion, that AI Modulus is a bit overpriced, as it does not include a built-in phono stage.  As such, it would not even fulfill your needs. The one worth having would be the 3A version with a phono stage designed by John Curl (if memory serves).  That one on eBay is worth a few hundred bucks, tops.  Again, in my opinion.
