whats a good diy tube preamp kit

I second these autoformers as a volume controller. Once you use one you will never build anything with a resistive volume controller again. well worth the money if you have a nice system. it will make your current setup sound like it used to have 3 bedsheets draped over the speakers. Kinda like a good horn speaker projects the sound out of the box a transformer volume controller puts the sound into the room.
