  I've used the Bendix 5852 rectifier tube in my AN L3 and like it very much. Clear, detailed and musical.
  
  Regarding volume controls, the TKD is a fine choice. For a stepped attenuator I can recommend the Goldpoint. Excellent channel balance.

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I have purchased a NIB Bendix 5852 tube and it is on its way. I have been considering building the Goldpoint Custom using Dale 1% resistors. Has anybody built one of these using these or other resistors?
    
    Please keep the suggestions coming.

      I think you'll like the Bendix. FYI, the Bendix 5852 takes longer to heat up than other 6X5GT types when the pre-amp is turned on. Give it a minute or two to do so before you turn on your amp, otherwise you'll hear some buzzing. It should be silent once the tube is fully warmed up.
