As I’ve said before in my “Japan Audio Trip 2015 Part 1” on June 2015.

When I visited Mr Toshiaki Kurashima at P&C Electronics shop
and listen to his main tube pre-amplifier using all Western Electric parts.
I still remember the sound from that tube pre-amplifier and
find the way to build my next pre-amplifier has a great tone like it.
So I have made my decision to order his custom made pre-amplifier for use as “reference”.
Just order about 2 months ago and Mr Toshiaki brought the pre-amplifier to me in Thailand
by himself last weekend ! I appreciate so much.
This pre-amplifier look neat and attractive with nany iron and capacitors.
Using WE310A “small punch”.
WE cloth wire for all wiring inside with AB carbon composition resistors.
Already use with my amplifier and the sound remind me to that day in Japan.
Western Electric parts always make me wonder especially signal transformers.
Frequency response over specification in datasheet and produce a great tone
that cannot find in others.
Simplicity so challenge me to build my new pre-amplifier to come close with this original parts.
