    I get the sonic properties of valves without the worry about burnt fingers.
    It will not be possible to touch the valves as they will be within a (vented) case.

    It is almost silly how much Richard Bews of LFD gets out of these classic opamps - most of his phono stages use NE5332s, my LFD pre uses a pair of opamps too and it sounds far far better than the simplicity of the circuit has a right to.
