I'm glad to see that suspicious tube glow was just led's. The presence of transistors isn't very inspiring though, unless they're part of a sidechain or the power supply circuit.

Get you a FX-AUDIO TUBE-03 tube preamp to feed your main amp. Replace the tubes that came with it to a matched pair of 5654Ws, and you will hear wonderful base, and all the way up! That is my setup here at home. Mine is driving a 100W per channel class D amp that drives a pair of 12s with tweeters.

*lol, very well played sir!* It's Class-A so the audiophiles shouldn't complain 😁 I have heaps of MOSFETS and transistors floating around. I'm going to slap something similar together using a Darlington and some 18650's.

Tubes/valves add even harmonics and soft clipping which enhances the mid and bass frequencies which is pleasing to the musical ear! Guitarists like Mark Knoffler, Brian May love this sound! Many audio fans also find this a pleasing to the ear! Although valve power amps are expensive a solid state power amp with a flat frequency response coupled to a valve pre amp is a cost affective solution as the even distortion is added at the pre amp stage! It adds presence to the signal which gives like live music into your listening area, it seems to add an octave above fundamental and a 5th above ! I used to have 2 Leak TL50 power amps and a .1 % plus pre amp but sold it as the TL 50’s power tubes (matched pair) became too expensive (£160 ) to replace! I now have a pre amp like you have here feeding 2 solid state FET power amps that should last a long time I hope! Fraser.

I like the design of this meter. Unfortunately you have to hold it at a certain angle otherwise the numbers on the screen fade and you can't barely see them. Once you finally get the angle right and you try to take a reading the numbers jump around excesively before they finally settle down. I paid about 20 bucks for mine, but was thinking about getting a more expensive one due to the fancy design. After testing it I changed my mind. It's not ready for PRIME TIME.

Run the tube fillaments on DC instead of AC using a full wave bridge rectifier, that will eliminate the AC hum.

Just watching another video about the 6J1 preamp and the guy is testing it out on an oscilloscope. He says the 1 microfarad capacitors on the output are not letting the bass tones through and is suggesting changing those to 3.3 micro farad, or 4.7 micro farad capacitors. The video is called 'Tube preamp budget kit test and review' and channel 'JohnAudioTech'. Maybe the capacitor changes can give you a much better 6J1 preamp.

my native language is not English, I speak Portuguese... so I apologize for the mistakes. I have this preamplifier. I made the suggested modification to the output capacitors to improve the response. really improved. but the best change I recommend is to place a capacitor in parallel with the cathode resistor, the sound has improved a lot. I suggest calculating with the frequency formula for capacitor=1/2πrf to find the ideal capacitance value for a good response from 20 hertz. Now my problem is learning how to control the noise, maybe lowering the supply voltage will solve it.

You would probably need to change the LED resistors to different values depending on the voltage of the new LED's. I don't know very much about electronics but I know LEDs need the correct resistors to prevent burning the LEDs out with too much power

No you would need an inverter not a rectifier to use this preamp from a battery. This is an expensive solution. There may be a way to power it with (2 ) 12 volt batteries. Having one power the positive rail and one power (reverse)the negative rail but I would have to go back and look at the schematics to figure out where to connect the power supply and test the circuit.

If you use a metal case you need to ground it or it's a safety risk with possible electrocution and death of the user. To get the prongs out of a plastic case you can heat them up. Will slide out like butter. Enjoyed the video though lol. 21.5v looks correct for 5x4.2v cells.
