Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

and when my old Velodyne sub's surround rotted, I knew I could do with confidence.

rotten?

I believed that the suspensions of that brand were indestructible with the passage of time!

everything will come with patience and waiting time.
With the covid problem everything has slowed down.
I waited 11 months by sea for a turntable to arrive from Japan (March 2020 / February 2021) between returning it back to seller for problems I don’t know and other time wasters, but then it finally arrived.
Patience and more patience.

11 month by sea mail from Japan is nonsense, seamail is 2-3 month estimate and not affecting by covid at all.

Not ....the problem occurred because the turntable had returned back to the depot in Japan and I did not know anything for a long time.
