Hi. For sale a complete parts kits to build the original Aikido octal tube preamp, Rev. A PCB. This is an original kit, with still unopened labelled part bags.
There was some missing resistors, and I included excellent Vishay RN60D resistors.
It is one of the best tube preamp out there, well regarded design and good sounding.
The kit includes the original PCB with documentation, all the discrete parts (except input selector, and volume pot), original kit matched tubes (Rogers NOS 6SN7), their sockets, and even the needed power transformers (Triad Split core, my favorite).
In these days of parts shortage, this kit is this easiest way to build the Aikido. Included replacement to the original coupling caps huge Russian NOS caps (large green cans). You'll also get my detailled BOM that goes with this kit.
I got this kit as payment for a work I did, but sadly I have too many projects, so this one has to go.
I`m asking only the cost of the original parts 250U$, buyer pay shipping and Paypal 3.5%fee
Keep in mind the rather large cost of similar 6SN7 NOS matched quad is also included in the price...
Already into the box, ready to ship...
Send me an email if interested.
Thanks for looking

Funny - I built one of these years ago, with a 6x5 rectified power supply that was a group buy here. Anyway, I hadn't used it in years, and recently took it out as I had just received some 6x5 valves. I did a little tidying up on it, and I can tell you it sounds really really good. I've had a few different preamps up against many high dollar very well regarded preamps.... and this one is just fantastic.
That is crazy good value for the money here. Just don't skimp on the input selection and volume pot.
