12au7 valve preamp (again?)

I found this (and built if later) when googling around, BUT it seems to lack a lot of response on treble, can anyone give me a hint on what to do?

I have build it without that tone control of the schematic.

How did you verify that the high frequency response is declined ?
Do you have long cable at the output ?

Actually there is a chance to have poor low frequency response because the capacitor at the output is just 20 nF.
It should be minimum 10 x bigger (220 nF...470 nF).

hi there

Big OOPS here, wrong schematic, new one attached (its from the same person that designed the first one, he made a few changes).

about wiring: short as possible (<1m shielded)
how i finded out? bypassing the preamp there is a lot of treble being played thru it: almost none.

tubes are matsushita.
