I wanted a tube preamp, but I didn't want to pay the premium. So I built one! The chassis is from some old rack-mount television gear that I gutted, and the circuit design is from the Hi-Octane tube amp on ax84.com, with some minor tweaks.

See this video to hear what it sounds like: http://youtu.be/Y0KZQA9wk6s
