If you don't understand then just look at the parts used,that is what is needed to make this little single ended preamp shine even against some
Much more expensive company. In this case vs the competition you
Would have to spend $3-4k to get a preamp that has comparable
Parts quality listed above and still both would sound different. For this dual Triode
12at7 based in put stage to the 5y3 rectified tube section gives excellent
Dynamics and Bass control.the E-core transformer actually is a pretty good Silicon Steel .the 12at7 Triode has very good linearity and control and imaging,compared to say a 6sn7 tubes which may be a richer more airy sound stage. Your amplifier,and speakers will dictate what type of preamplifier is best for your particular situation.i have been rolling tubes
For over 30 years.i still have a tube integrated amp, and solid state seperate amplifier .I find the Wyred4 Sounds Mamp - MK-2 in the stereo version
Dual mono in the same chassis sounds very good with tubes and runs cool.
