Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.

I just read something:

People don’t want advice, just confirmation

I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.

I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

Thanks to the O.P. for an entertaining thread--and a great attitude about audio in general.

Example: "I decided I would try to have Oriental Patience from then on."

thank you both for your humor.

Just yesterday I thought, hey, where are those L-Pads I ordered. I returned the Pots I ordered by mistake.

Checked, it would have been a long time, I left them in the cart, never ordered them.

I'm 77, so if this doesn't work out for you; for $500.00 plus $30.00 shipping you can purchasing from the USA (tubes4hifi.com) the SP10 Preamp with remote control.  It's made in China; another adversary or enemy depending on your personal view. I have one and it sounds fantastic. It is very well made.  I've had more costly one that doesn't sound any better. You might wonder why people pay so much for brand name preamps. PEACE.

Does it play any non-Russian composers?

My Cayin A88T integrated amp is made in China, first rate, sounds terrific. Politically I'm a 'One World' type.

thanks for the link, seems like he/they know what they are doing.

SP10 may sound good, but I would order his SP14 K1 with remote, assembled, probably go for the pricey mundorf caps.

It has separate left/right gain, a nice feature when using mono blocks.
