Hello Victor

The amp looks really interesting

I am interested in joining the preorder list if it's still open if shipping to the UK (United Kingdom) is possible?

Victor, where is the nfb/non-nfb jumper located? If it is located inside chassis can a spst toggle switch be used instead of jumper without affecting circuit or audio?

Has anyone put together the new 8900 kit already? How does it sound? Picked up a 8600 recently, wondering if 8900 comes close. Also, would it be possible to modify the circuit to accept 45 tubes?

Has any one compared the TU-8900 with and without a preamp? Are there any preamp recommendations?

 

[sbfx13]

I don't think one can use the amp with a preamp, I too wanted to use it as a amp only.

you can use the amp either way....
