Further Information: 

This small tube tube preamp kit has been upgraded with high performance JAN GE 5654W tubes, three selectable inputs and remote control. The original 6J1 tubes are included for a tube roll but the GEs way out perform the cheaper tubes. The caps in the kit are all low ESR types and resistors all metal film. A 12v 1A power power back supplies safe voltages and has an “On” light. Three inputs selected by switches at the front. The remote control pot is an Alps Blue Velvet, with solid brass, gold plated skinny knob. 
 

Finish is Ocean Blue Hammertone, all wiring is silver plated fine copper wire and WBT silver based solder used throughout. The tubes blue glow, due to LEDs, enhances the overall appearance. The chassis is a Hammond wood cheek and the timber ends have been finished with a Scandinavian finishing oil, two rubbed coats.  The sound from the preamp is very detailed, super clean and clear with bass down to 30hz. Voices are transparent and detailed. This preamp compares very well with my much more expensive builds. Noise is less than 1mV at over 50% full gain. Shipping included.
