DON'T WRITE IN ALL CAPS IT MEANS YOU ARE SCREAMING/YELLING!!
I don't know the answer but surely a service person at VTL assuming the company has continued after the death of it's founder, can tell you. If someone other than I answers you perhaps they will know.

Try posting the question at the Audio Asylum forums. Luke Manley lurks the site and often replies to comments and questions regarding his products. Luke is a real stand up Guy.

Good Luck.

Did you try looking inside with a flashlight to see if the board is marked. I would be surprised if it isn't. The 4 12AX7s you mentioned on the left hand side is for phono.

if you are facing the front on the preamp, the line stage looks as follows:

12AU7. 12AT7

12AU7. 12AT7

the top row corresponds to the left channel and the bottom row to the right channel

in the older model of the ultimate, 12AX7s were used instead of 12AU7s in the line stage but the order is still the same.

hope this helps
