Why not have a custom SET- DHT preamp made for you ? I have a SET with only
1- stage is by far the purist active stage you can get .100% Transformer coupled
Lundahl, orMonolithe , Tango,or whatever your budget could afford . Myself 5 transformers ,3 choke filter supplies ,all 4- pole output caps and bypassed with MundorfSilver oils the latest Shunt,relay remote from Khozmo. No coupling capacitors at all in the signal path.
Amorphous core Audio output transformers , Silver if your budget can go the extra $2k Mile. Something to ponder though the Russian 4P1L tube is considered by many one of the most linear with lowest plate resistance but still have plenty of gain . Did you know the Vast majority of preamplifier have 2 ,or more stages
indirect triodes .mean double the circuitry,and wiringplus regulators . You would have to spend well over $10-15k what this DHT can accomplish in purity for $6k.
No commercial markup .myself being in the Audio business before know the production markup and only 25% of the cost at most goes into the product ,including the case. Custom over 70% goes into the build and the parts quality
is Much higher - premium quality.Nothing was spared in the build process. Longevity,as well as lower distortion is the
final result of precision hand built engineering . It took me over 30 years to except
this fact but true .Amplifiers are another animal all together they are Loudspeaker dependent .
