available in September '25, pre order your Aretha LT now!
Designed with the audio enthusiast in mind, Aretha LT, LT = Lundahl Transformer, is a single ended classic tone control, 6SL7 based, tube preamplifier housed in a custom wood chassis.
Aretha LT will eventually replace our Aretha MKII.
The volume control is a precision machined 59 step attenuator, -60dB to 0dB.
What you get with the standard Aretha LT:
4 input selection
2 identical outputs
Treble & Bass tone controls
59 Step volume control
Balance control
Tone Controls Defeat Switch
Factory new 6SL7 triodes (see note below re 'no tubes')
What options you can have for the Aretha LT:
6922 based MM phono preamp
Blue Velvet ALPS Remote volume control
Tape/Source toggle switch
Loudness toggle switch
NOTE: The remote volume option is not available with the stepped attenuator!
If you want any special customizations, please contact us with your requets.
Every Aretha LT preamp comes with your choice of chassis wood and plate colors plus any of the options listed below, please look here for wood choices.
The power switch can be either a LED pushbutton or a LED toggle switch.
Aretha LT is built to order and will take around 6-8 weeks to complete and ship.
Please NOTE: the 6SN7 cannot be subbed for the 6SL7 with this preamp.
The 'no tube' option.
Due to the recent major price increases on factory new tubes, we are now offering a 'no tube' option. This means, we test Aretha LT using our own tubes, then ship without tubes and you supply your own.
It is really important that you do read the caveats and fully understand the conditions under which we sell and ship Aretha LT to you without tubes, thank you.
