The Preamp is a Carver Silver-1 Tube PROTOTYPE preamp.
There are only 2 of them in existance.
The outside tubes are the Silver-6 (prototype) tube amps, and the inner pair of tubes are the Silver-9 (prototype) amps.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
