This is a highly coveted PA1 PENTODE PRE-AMPLIFIER made by TL Audio in England.  I recorded a few mastered CD projects with this and love it. I truly in love with the depth and clear, warm dimensionality of the tube sound. I own two of these rare units and am reluctantly making space to pay for some needed bills.
