It is not a phono stage, it does use three 12ax7 tubes though.

LOL!  I was thinking the same thing.

It's a two channel something with an outboard power supply.  A preamp or headphone amp?

I was looking for an IC thinking perhaps it is a tube DAC, but I don't see one.

A tube RCA to XLR converter!!!  Curious to see how it sounds and see if it will double up as a buffer.  Either way, a interesting piece.  Thanks, Nick
