My mistake these are Chuguang tubes not Psvane.

I’d had these fine and expensive tubes for sometime and thought they would be best in a preamp. I had used them as driver tubes in two different power amps but some how ended up with two matched tubes over. I called the preamp “Icon”.

Hammond sprayed wood cheek enclosure, stepper attenuator, Mundorf EVO oil output caps and external PS.
