That is my overall favorite preamp if I had to pick one along with the Scott 130.There are also mono preamps I like such as the Fisher 80c but let me tell you,the Fisher 400CX2 is a GEM!
The big thing is the power supply..You want film caps for the first 3 stages and its easy to do with the new poly film caps they have.You just tack them in under the chassis with goop and then recap the rest with F&T electrolytics..
The resistors you leave alone as put in good film and foil coupling caps and a couple paper in oil if you want and then rebuild the DC filament supply using a pair 4700uf muses.I will send you photos of how I did it.
