Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I always...

...like to complement Mr. Wright when an opportunity arises here at AA.

I have been using a 12 year old design of his, implemented in the Tara Passage FVP. It uses a pair of 12at7s in the phono stage and a pair of 12au7s in the line stage. Even though many of the parts are of average quality, this pre-amp is really something special. I have little doubt that his newest designs and implementations are superior. They are not inexpensive, even in kit form. They are arguably among the short list of "state of the art" pre-amps.

I then purchased his "Tube Pre-amp Cookbook" which is a wonderful explanation of his philosophy and approach to design. It is an interesting read and incredibly funny. I learned quite a bit about pre-amps generally and my pre-amp in particular. And it has caused me to long for the day that I might acquire a fully decked out Allen Wright designed differential pre-amp -- but such a unit would cost more than all my other equipment combined!
