Soundhound,

Yes, I bought a Bottlehead Foreplay preamp. Built it myself. I've already done a few mods on it. Runs off of 2 12AU7 type tubes. Right now, its on the bench with a loose connection somewhere. Whenever someone jumps (3 kids) in my old house I get a popping noise. Working on this stuff is a blast.

Next project will be a push-pull EL34 amp, like the old Dynacos.
