Hi Frank

it's a case of diminishing returns.I had a 6v6 preamplifier and after building the 801A....one thing that crossed my mind was...was all the expense really worth it? I went pretty far on parts quality/cost on the 801A. Well you know what is in there. Probably 5-8 times more expensive. In the end its what we do. But the sensible thing for me would have been to stick to the 6v6. I could easily have been very happy with that for the rest of my life.

I'm going to drive a full dht se amp with it. (One of the reasons I built the 801A is to go full dht)

4p1l input tube, 300b driver tube gm70 output.

The one thing the 801A appears to do better is letting through whatever is on the source. My NOS dac sounds even more natural now.

Kind regards,
Bas
