Hi all
Aikido Clone
This is an Aikido clone using the most excellent Russian Military 6N3P-DR double triode. I have used some very good sounding vintage carbon resistors in this and my power amps.
Two inputs switched via front.
I originally built the case for a Phono Pre for my turntable but as I've retired from vinyl decided to try an Aikido circuit. All I can say is WOW very impressed with it. The only downside is my recently built valve monoblock amps are very sensitive, 350mv for full output so I don't really need an active pre with 6 or 7db of gain.
I have a naim clone poweramp upstairs and tried the Aikido with that, very good indeed and would keep it if I had not built another valve amp to replace the naim clone.

As I don't need this it's up for grabs.
