Other Notes: From the owner: "This preamp is a special build by Kevin Carter himself, using a beta version of the differential gain stage board from the Genoa preamp of the Sonus Veritas line. Kevin also added high tech Lundahl amorphous core material output transformers (LL1689AM) which preserves the warm tone of a tube preamp while providing more transparency with a more fleshed out soundstage. The tubes employed are a pair of 6H30, the legendary Russian supertubes. In my audio systems I found that too much overall system gain really limited the usable preamp volume control range, so Kevin used low gain output transformer boards (zero dB/6dB, switchable via the front panel). I also had Kevin add a separate volume control for each channel. They are resistor-based with Seiden stepped controls."
