USA-made with external power supply. A superb, quality preamp! I have two of them! Why spend money on Ch*nese stuff?

Lots of gain, loading, and capacitance flexibility and easy to mod with socketed op amps and 12A_7 tubes. I've never had the desire to upgrade.

The question is what will work best for you in the context of your specific system and listening biases. The former is, mostly a try and see thing. And the later only you can answer.
