Wow, a Dodd preamp. If I had some extra cash...  💵
If you know how to post pics, Charles, I'd be curious to see what it looks like.

When I had my Dodd pre, it was the the quietest, most neutral pre I have ever heard in my system. I ended up moving on to a Primaluna because my system needed more warmth.

A great piece for some one out there. You won't regret it.

I bought one of Gary's first run of 20, then bought the buffer kit, then had Gary convert it to the newer 6H30 preamp.  I haven't looked for a preamp since.  You can probably find something better... but not anywhere near the price Charles is asking.

I'm surprised you didn't find a tube to color it more to your needs.  Dodd preamps can completely change personality with tube selection.

I believe Bill had 12bh7 Dodd preamp but Bill can correct me.

My Dodd pre had (4) 12B4A's in it.  :X   Matter of fact, I have one or two sets of them still here if anyone needs tubes.

  No , very close though. The APR has a phono stage which is quite good.
