Anyone interested might like to check out a company called Bellari, they make a stand alone tube phono pre amp called VP129 its  reasonably priced (under £100) and if used in the line stage of a Jah Ts pre amp might give the same results (sorry Joseph Redemption dont mean to rain on your parade) the unit is well built and has independant volume control and switchable "rumble" filter, i've tried it on a 4 way Tubbys pre and if revive is your business you might like the results cant say the same for modern dubwise though

The modded JTS who gonna be used the 31 january by Cultural Warriors and Russ D is not the one with tube. This one has a new phase linear crossover, upgraded opamps and caps and a new and cleaner powersupply.  What I expect to hear is a more precise and focused pre.
Cultural Warriors didnt want tubes because they dont like tubes -  why I dont knowUnhappy.
The real upgrade would have been tubes and PIO caps.

Its not a bad idea to use this Bellari tube phono pre but watch out the price. With prices like these you are more on the Beringer side than TL Audio side. I have not tested this unit and could be a real winner. But then you have only a 'tube sound' on the deck and no more line input!
And dont worry about the rain it washes all sins awayWink. No seriously I have published the schematic of the tube modded pre so everyone can make it - with some soldering skills.Big smile

Its a bit confusing but let me explain.
LION YOUTH own the tube modded JTS and CULTURAL WARRIORS the  modded JTS with the new crossover.

Russ D is going to play with Cultural Warriors end of month.

And these are custom preamps.

I'm smiling! In my preamp rack for my I Creation Soundsystem I have a Bellari tube sonic exciter and a TL Audio EQ 1. Sounds phat and sweet! I've been using this set up for more than 10 years. Don't get to play out much these days, may be that will change this year.

I'll post some pics later when I have more time.

Tweeter, it's a full range device with a mono sub o/p and frequency roll off. The Sub o/p is unaffected by the exciter controls. Bellari also do a solid state version.
