Package Include
1. 5678 (6N6-T) Tube Preamplifier Kit (Stereo) - No Tubes
2. Assembly Manual 

 

INTRODUCTION

The circuit design comprises of two stages: the first stage uses 12AU7 vacuum tube in common cathode configuration
which provides moderate gain, minimum noise and high linearity to the amplified signal; The output stage uses 5687
or its equivalent 6N6-T as buffer to deliver sufficient power to the load. In additional to pre-amplifing input signal,
this amplifier is capable to drive headphone directly whose impedance is often very low. The signal paths of this PCB
layout is designed in symmetry for both channels. Dedicated power rails, ground, and signal paths, althogether are taken
 into considerations so  that  all are to minimize the parasitics, cross interference, and influence of RFI.
