Trascendent Sound Grounded Grid preamp

I'm still in the process of building my GG, so I can only confirm that it is cheap and fun. As far as good sounding, there are many reviews of this preamp on Audioreview and AudioAsylum. I would start there. Have fun.

Bluenose I believe the N.E.W. was a Nelson Pass design. I remember hearing their 20 watt Class A amp at an audio show years ago and being duly impressed.

There was a thread on this not too long ago. Check out Transcendent on the forum search function.

The GG is a superb little pre. It is very quiet, transparent and revealing. As you may already know there are no knobs or remotes to clutter it.

I built mine from scratch and incorporated a number modifications.

Puubie- Can you elaborate on the mods. Did you use an Alps pot? Would it be possible to add a second main out for biamping or sub? I have heard great things about this preamp.

The GG has a DC filament with a voltage regulator. I eliminated the voltage regulator and used Schottkey diodes and a couple of resistors like snubbers to reduce voltage for the filaments.

I used UF4007 diodes with snubbers for the main supply.

The input specs a 10K grid stop resistor. I used a 68K tantalum resistor with an Alps pot in shunt. Used tantalum resistor for other resistor in signal circuit.

I tried Auricaps 3.3mfd output caps. It could possibly shatter glass with the Auricaps so I used Jensen copper foil PIO caps to tame it some.

I don't know about the extra output but I would imagine it is possible. I have only one in and one out. There is an on off switch and the volume control, that all.
