VALVET soulshine II Mk.II Tube Pre Amplifier

VALVET soulshine II Mk.II The latest and best version of Knut Cornils' soulshine is the new soulshine II Mk.II. Hand crafted near Hamburg in Germany, the soulshine II Mk.II is a line-stage using ECC82 and 12BH7A tubes and a new external solid-state dual-mono PSU. Also new is the carbon top and a remote controlled 64-step volume control unit using Z-Foil resistors, cotton insulated pure silver wiring and harmonized energetic tuning. The soulshine II Mk.II shows exceptional detail, plasticity and sound stage. Everything is played on a black/still background. The listener hears no tube noise, but many tube virtues. Voices really have body, strings have the right fluidity, and an electric guitar sounds just like it should. Especially the harmony between silence and dynamics captivates the listener right away.  Similar to the original soulshine with 4 line inputs and now 3 outputs (WBT silver connectors) using ECC82 and 12BH7A tubes with only one Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil capacitor per chan
