Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Vacuum Tube Audio PH16

That looks like a great unit. Even assembled, cost is reasonable(at least for audio gear!)

Based on those specs, I bet it's a very quiet unit. I compared a Manley Chiinook that has a JFET stage against my Fosgate which is all tube. It was so quiet I started to wonder if there was something wrong with it until the music started! The Manley has SS rectification while the Foz is tubed like your kit. I don't know if tube rectification influences the noise factor?

I will be looking out for your impressions once it's finished. Final tweaking in the appropriate tube(NOS) position may bump performance a bit more?

Clean solder joints and good luck!
