Cornet 2 with one of Jim's pre-finished Lansing enclosures. Auricap upgrades,Vishay foil resistors in signal path, paper in oil caps (wrapped in tape so lead wires can't accidentally short)and the following tubes I settled on after much rolling.
Regulator is a Bendix 6106 NOS(labelled National Electronics 5AR4) from Tube Depot who now gets $100 for it...I think I paid half that 11 years ago.
the 12 AU7 is a NOS Raytheon JAN 5814
the two 12AX7's are new Groove Tubes GT 12AX7 Golds from 11 years ago.
Tubes will come in original boxes. Shamefully, this setup can't have more than 250 hours on it. A diversion I made not enough time for.
Please read the linked review for more info. The late Jim Howard (Tubesforever) and I built and modified our Cornets 2's as a team effort. https://www.audioasylum.com/reviews/Phono-Preamp/Hagerman-Technology/Cornet2/vinyl/76/768002.html
