I've been wanting to hear this preamp for years, if anyone has a unit in southern California I will gladly bring pairing amps in exchange for a demo. Glad you found good match!
De Havilland Mercury 3 preamplifier
Kara Chaffee, designer, sent me a new set of tubes. I installed and well....great. Still didn't like the bass. A bit muddled for my tastes. She then suggested replacement of the rectifier tube. Even sent me a link on eBay for it.
NOS SYLVANIA JAN-CHS 5931 5U4G Rectifier Tube Triple Mica.
She said she liked the tube. Game changer for those with this preamplifier. Addressed the bass issues and improved everything else. Thank you Kara.
