ELEKIT TU-8500 ???

Posted by rvb100@comcast.net on April 2, 2021 at 03:20:26:
This tube preamplifier, Elekit TU-8500 seems like the best deal going for a quality tube preamplifier. Comes from Japan as opposed to China. Seems like Victor Kung offers great support. You can buy it as a kit to save a few dollars (under $600 depending on options).

Why not more discussion here and other forums?

Anyone have one that could offer a short review?

What are the alternatives that I'm missing?
