subwoofer, and four stereo input channels.  The gain is adjustable in three levels via a switch
on the chassis.  There is a meter to adjust and monitor the current through the 316A tubes.
The amplifier produces about 5 watts per channel with very low distortion.

Some comments from a satisfied customer:

"Wanted to let you know that the preamp is up and running. Wife acceptance factor is real
high...so all I can say is good job! The sound is mellowing out and I'll be in touch 
with you to let you know how it's sounding in a few days-new speaker
cables and some new upgraded interconnects.”


"I really like the umbilical cord you installed in the preamp. It's very stable and very
impressive. My wife, and I, love the (side panels) woodwork on the
preamp. It's very becoming and an attention getter.”

"Well, that's it for now. I'm going to listen to some good music.  Thanks again, and tell
your group they built a good preamp and we are very happy.”
