I am selling a complete TLP/N kit version 2.0 . Kit includes:

a) Specially designed  EI transformer with low flux density. It is designed for 230 / 240 V primary voltage.

b) TLP kit with Nirvana update and Auricap output capacitors

c) As my gift I give you blue Alps 50k log potentiometer.


The price is 135 EUR + post costs.

The preamplifier is  in a perfect working condition and was used occasionally for  listening.

If interested, please send me PM.

Let me just add that, while the TLP does not have the incredible resolution of the GK-1, it nevertheless is a very fine preamp that costs only a fraction of the GK-1 price. 

A while back I put my TLP in the main system (the GK-1 was on the bench for mods) and listened with great satisfaction for several weeks. It sounds GOOD.  Of course, when I put the GK-1 back in the system, it sounded even better, more resolved, more instrumental texture, but then the GK-1 costs a lot more.  So, if you like the way your AKSA amp sounds and aren't ready to buy a GK-1, I think that you might be very well served by the TLP.

Mine is configured with a source selector switch and a DACT attenuator. I'll be happy to share chassis photos and describe the layout if that would be helpful.
   
When you first switch on the TLP, there is a moderate-level buzz for about 10 seconds while the tube warms up, then it goes very quiet.  This is normal TLP behavior; if you think that this will disturb your audiophile friends, then turn your TLP on before they arrive .  Also, I do not recommend building the TLP into the same chassis as your power amp (to make an integrated)... I spent many months trying to do that and could never overcome a small amount of hum.  Built into a seperate chassis, the TLP is extremely quiet.

I can also send the kit without transformer. This option greatly reduce post costs.  Cool
