Well done! As soon as you are able, replace the decidedly inferior LM301 chip with a TL071 or better, upgrade the +/- 12V supply voltage dropping resistors with 1W rated equivalents and fit a couple of decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the chip supply pins. It will all make for an enormous improvement in SQ.

Here you go Dan, even simpler. Try one of these, world's cheapest passive pre-amp. Works just fine and sounds very good. I've got one.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

For low value items no vat or duties are payable. The threshold for vat is £15 and for duties it is £135.
I've found that often HMRC don't bother with items marginally over the thresholds. YMMV
