My last four tube preamps have been made mostly with parts on hand. Anything from 100% parts on hand to the last one here 80%. We are in strict lockdown in Victoria Australia and I’ve parts laying around for over twenty years. Time to use them up.
I used most expensive parts first now down to less so. Like these Ozzy made Miniwatt 6SN7 GTA which tested 88 and matched each other in emissions. Built in a plastic jiffy box and sprayed copper hammertone with an etch primer. Looks great and I’m supper surprised how good these cheap vintage tunes sound. PIO output caps with the pot on the output. Dead quiet and sounding Delicious! I called it “Illusion”.
