All caps resistors and tubes are new. Has 2 out puts one using Audio Note copper caps the other V-Caps TFTF (£350). The power supply on this amp is very special, fully tube regulated with separate tube regulation to each cannel all caps in power supply are Mundorf Tubecaps. The case is all Perspex so is not conductive at all. All resistors are to 1% tolerance. Pot is a DACT stepped attenuator the selection pot is also made by DACT. Has a lot of cotton sleeved silver wire used. I have also put balance on each output as I as the hearing in one of my ears is not so good.
Have to say it is pretty special a very clean sound. Out performs my £2200 (plus more for mods) Croft Epoch Pre I had before this by a very large margin.
Only used less than 50 hours since coming back from the work shop as since then my power amp was sent off so could not use..
This is a line stage only.
Looking for a £900 which is less then what I just spent on rebuild, I may haggle though.
I know this amp intimately.
Very well & true sounding.
Recommendable.
