Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.

Ok, made in China. But this preamp brought magic alive in my system. I've had it for over 2 years now with narry a glitch. Miles above any preamp in the same category.

 space tech lab has many balanced preamps, some of his offerings use power tubes.

These look interesting, thanks. There is not a lot of information about them anywhere, can you elaborate at all? 

If you can pull it off, build your own, using 6J5, or vintage #27 globe triodes. Use Mundorf coupling capacitors and metalized polypropylene capacitors in the pi network power supply with a Hammond choke on the grounded negative side. An amp costing 120,000 new uses electrolytic power supply capacitors which have to be replaces every ten years or less and have much worse ESR than polypropylene capacitors. One power supply for both channels has so little ESR that you will get a channel separation of over 120 db.  

@drbarney1 not me captain, I just fried mt power amp when I attempted to make some open baffle speakers...DUH!  A pre-amplifier is WAY beyond my capabilities! How much would you charge to build me one!
