Bill it is a preamp not buffer with one 6H30 tube. Gary's website needs some updates according to Gary. The piece shown as Buffer/Pre is not a buffer.
      Gary  is offering a new preamp based on the 12B4A tubes as he feels the 6H30 NOS tubes are getting to expensive.
      It will be interesting to hear both and their differences. www.doddaudio.com

Thanks, Charles.  The new (12B4A based) VGP is what he is building me.  The comparison will be interesting; but it'll be impossible to know the "where & why" of the differences (assuming there will be, although I can't imagine there won't be) because there will be more than one thing about them that's different.

 What will make the differences...???
   • Tubes: 6H30 vs. 12B4A's
   • Caps: Mundorfs vs. Sonicap Platinums
   • Overall circuitry: a single (6H30) tube model vs. a 4 (12B4A) tube one

BTW - Does your Dodd pre have a set or variable gain?

It may be "Apples to Oranges", but it should be a fun comparison to do nonetheless!

  OK price is set at $1600 with Mundorfs. It is not a buffer it is a ful function linestage.
