I’ve had this little pre-amp since March 2017, bought new directly from Schiit.
The stock tube is a Russian NOS. I’m also including 2 other tube options:
1. The Schiit LISST - a solid state tube replacement.
2. A current production Tung-Sol 6SN7GTB from Upscale Audio - “Platinum Grade” and cryoed.
It has been gently used in a non-smoking domestic environment. And sound as good as when new (possibly better being fully broken in). The volume control is Schiit's relay-switched stepped attenuator with discrete thin-film resistors - super transparent.
$275 including shipping in the continental US. (Local pick-up available in Northern NJ - Montclair area)
