so i have alot of options on the table right now.. im gonna give everything a look and make my choice. im still considering the ebay kit option as it is very cheap and this project is intended for fun and i want to keep it as simple as possible! heres another kit i saw on the bay:
6Z5P 6N8P Tube Preamp Board with Volume Bass Treble Adjustable | eBay
this one seems a bit nicer then the first one i posted.. no balance which is good and the tubes are standing so better heat management. as far as the circuit goes - i think its pretty much the same.

after some more research - im pretty sure i found the perfect solution!
Buffer 6N3 Tube Preamp Amp Matisse Kit Transformer | eBay
the price is right, it comes with a transformer and there are actual reviews (or review..) online about! its also based on the matisse preamp which i know is pretty good! seems like the right project!

Hopefully you ordered one with a 120V power transformer otherwise you will have to get another one.
The Aikido likely would blow the doors off of this thing, but cost wise at least a good place to start.
Turn on first and allow to warm up BEFORE turning on your solid state power amp. Turn off power amp before turning off the pre-amplifier. Loud thumps or worse are otherwise a distinct possibility.

Probably not a bad idea to put Israel in your profile, lived in Tel Aviv as a kid, did not know you were not in the US given the nature of the gear you own.

I assume by this point that Jaffa has pretty much been overwhelmed by Tel Aviv. There was a very cool Arabic restaurant and bar on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean with a patio having spectacular views. I still remember the hookah smoking patrons in the bar area which was upholstered in some red velvet.. Food and soda was good..
MATISE TUBE FANTASY PRE AMP.
Hi I just purchased a MATISE HAND BUILT PRE AMP it uses 2 X ECC83 and 2 XECC81 and 1 XEZ80 Mullard Rectifier tube, I have not plugged it in as yet, As I just ordered a set of Tubes and waiting on Delivery, This PRe AMP has Got 2 Pairs of RCA OUTs and 2 Pairs of RCA Inputs and is wired to for AC240 VOLTS.
ANY Idea how does this pre amp sounds, I will be Coupling it to a SOLID State Class A CROWN POWER LINE 3 Power AMP, as a Friend of mine is Building a Pair Of TUBE MONO BLOCKS using 2 X Driver Tubes and 4 X KT 88 Output Power tubes. I got a Pair of KLIPSH LASCALA 3 way Speakers,
Any idea how this pre amp will match my speakers.
