Original owner. FETs in power supply only. Tube only throughout the audio chain.
Each gain stage (meaning each half of each dual triode tube) is independently regulated.
Controls
for stereo/mono, low/high gain, filter. 6 sets of inputs; 2 line
outputs. Headphone jack. Don't know if it is possible to do better for
the money.
"I highly recommend the Audio by Van Alstine FET Valve
CF Preamp. It is an all-tube design that isn’t crazy expensive like so
many competing products on the market. It has been designed with care to
perform in just about any system I can imagine. And the sound is not
overly mellifluous as one may wrongly expect based on the tube design.
Instead, you get a sound that is accurate, extended, clean and with
lifelike transient response. Sure the tubes add a touch of the golden
hues tube lovers crave, but that doesn’t define or dominate the sound
you hear. It’s simply a natural smoothing of the rough edges adding a
nice bloom to what you hear. The FET Valve CF Preamp is also capable of
excellent staging in both width and depth."
