Below are the web sights where I got the schematic. Fred did a nice job of describing this so please use his web sight and view the artical on a studio tube pre amp. He had other nice articals as well.
This schematic was presented by Fred Nachbaur.

But just an FYI-- Fred Nachbaur, the author/creator of this preamp (and the well-known "Real McTube" project) passed away in 2004. So you might want to remove the part about emailing him...
I don't think there's anything wrong with building a project that was specifically put on the internet so people would build it...
I just thought you might want to remove that part about the email, that's all.
I am very pleased to have been of some help. That's a pretty good amplifier, with well-designed feedback, and th 6V6 is a very capable tube. You are a pretty skilled constructor to have made it work just from the circuit diagram.
Best wishes,
Jim Calvert
