The total cost for the whole linestage is around USD 850.00. I now have much respect for this tube (I used to think 6DJ8s sucked). The preamp had a massive 74 db of gain - no noise whatsoever using low output MCs. We listened to it using Allens prototype forced symetry power amps (yes, they do actually exist). I also read his pre-amps cook book and super cable cook book. I learned quite a bit about pre-amps generally and my pre-amp in particular.Īnd it has caused me to long for the day that I might acquire a fully decked out Allen Wright designed differential pre-amp - but such a unit would cost more than all my other equipment combined WTS. I then purchased his Tube Pre-amp Cookbook which is a wonderful explanation of his philosophy and approach to design. I have little doubt that his newest designs and implementations are superior. It uses a pair of 12at7s in the phono stage and a pair of 12au7s in the line stage.Įven though many of the parts are of average quality, this pre-amp is really something special. I have been using a 12 year old design of his, implemented in the Tara Passage FVP. You can buy the swuperreg as a kit from Allen or one of his distributors.
