A 9 cosmetically--no issues--power supply mods by Mr Tutay,,9dB of gain,,allows for many tube rolling options in the 'middle" tube position,,comes with GEC 6X4 rectifier,,Untied Electron 12FQ7 and a Siemens Silverplate 12AU7,,BDR cone feet,,4 sets inputs,,2 sets outputs,,they don't last long on the used market.If your system will not let you get past 9-10 o'clock with the volume,this tuber will fit the bill--no hum either. Build quality is very good.Owners manual included--with mods noted in hand by Mr Tutay.I'm selling because I've got another pre being made for me,I'm the 3rd owner,and I've had it for a couple of years.Thanks for looking.
