Following up on Stereo5's comment, definitely replace the stock JJ tubes which are okay, with NOS if you can. I did the same thing with my Sphinx V3 (NOS Mullards from Andy at Vintage Tubes), and the improvements were not subtle. It makes a real difference in the performance and musicality!

I have an opportunity to purchase (new) one of these 3 preamps at a solid discount. I’m looking to see who has had hands-on experience with one or more of them, and your input & feedback on each. All commentary welcome. Thank you.
