Actually, I've built 1 1/2 Daniels. Let me explain: I originally built the Daniel and used it for several years until I sold my Linn. This unit uses 6 tubes with 4 in the phono section. Since I was out of the phono game, I could not see using a six tube preamp while only listening to two tubes so I sold it. But I missed the sound so I built only the high level section in a Dynaco chassis using the tube rectifier. How does it sound? Well, I got fat and lazy about five years ago and had to have a remote control preamp. At the time it was wonderful and one of these days I may put it back in my system and check it out again. Hope this helps. Don
