Elekit TU-8500 kit preamp

[Desmodromic]

OK - I already suspect I know the answer to this one, but in an attempt to bring new content to this board:

Anyone else built one of these?

As before, I got mine from Nick @ HiFi Collective, and it matches the TU-8900 wonderfully. This is not an advert for HiFi Collective, just that is the only place that I know sells the Elekit range in the UK. https://www.hificollective.co.uk/kit...s/tu-8500.html

I have replaced my WD Pre3/Phono3/PSU3 setup with this pre, so it is sort of relevant to this forum. I'm really becoming a fan of the Elekit kits, they are really very cleverly designed, and come with high quality components.

Looks a nice unit, tempting to try but I'd need to divert one of the line in to be able to switch between MC and MM for two turntables.

Wondered how this sounded compared to the WAD Pre3 etc
