and even this has some mods to it. Power Supply is totally different with a Choke added. My main filter caps are the same with better quality parts but the Caps on the preamp side are different values.
I also bought a "MBL 6010D clone" which is not a true clone but very close to the OG preamp. I did some upgrades and mods to it. One of the best sounding preamps I have had in my system. Using better IC than the NE5532's and NE5534's it came with.

It supposed to have those NE5532/4 since the original has them and it costs pretty penny. I thought about it too since I have MBL1521a transport and 311E speakers in a closet but I'll just buy one of theirs integrateds to match the look when I visit EU.

  Versions of the MBL 6010D, one has the NE5532/4 and the later version has the AD797 opamp. That's why I installed better IC's in mine and it made a huge difference in sound quality. It now has a very wide and deep soundstage. I had a Classe CP-50 and it was not this good. My BAT VK-30 and Transcendent Sound Masterpiece 300b preamps are different with over all musicality being with the Masterpiece preamp.
  I have two systems, one being all Tube from Tuner/ Phono preamp > preamp > power amp. Now I have a really nice Solid State system from Tuner/ Phono preamp all the way to power amp/s with class a/b power amp and Class D monoblocks. I really enjoy both.
