I make mine, lots of schematics around on this forum and on the www. But it must be remembered you are dealing with lethal voltages on tube amps if making your own. With my background in electrical engineering and having built tube and solid state gear for 40 years now, I am well versed in the complexities.
There are some quite good Chinese made pre's around with that tube - although the tubes really need an upgrade to better alternatives.
If you have a good Hi Fi shop near you, that might have any - see if you can borrow one for a few days to audition in your setup.
