Introduction - 12AX7 Tube Preamp Kit

Using a K-12 tube amp with a NAD C542 CD player, there is no need for a buffer or line level preamplifier. The K-12 is a very polite and sweet amp with all the warmth of it's "hot bottle" heritage. However, when I compare the K-12 with my monoblock chip amps (LM3875), I was never convinced that the chips amps really delivered the passion of the music which the K-12 does so easily. There was always something missing when it came to a convincing delivery. I felt a little of that beautiful valve warmth was required, so I tried a very affordable Valve Preamp kit from Silicon Chip Online.

The preamp kit is based around a common 12AX7 dual triode. The line level (Hi-Fi) version of the kit has the gain set at 4 (6 dB). What makes this kit very inexpensive is that power comes a switch mode power supply, fed from a 17 volt DC wall wart! Photograph 01 shows a stock build of the kit.

12AX7 Preamp Kit Assembly

Prior to building the preamplifier kits, I purchased some nice Sprague capacitors in order to upgrade the signal path capacitors. Photograph 02 shows the completed power supply and preamp module with the upgraded capacitors.

Once I had put together the boards, I proceeded to add snubbers to the preamp and power supply sections. Photograph 03 shows the snubbers added to the underside of the PCBs.
