A recent pre amp upgrade put me in the market for a phono pre so I chose a Bottlehead Eros. The walnut is from a friends farm in Wisconsin. Eight coats of hand rubbed Tung oil. Stock build with tube upgrades for now but I have some .33uf Sonicap Platinums coming to replace the stock Solen coupling caps. It sounds really good for the money.

I also own a similar Bottlehead Eros tape preamplifier. The finish of yours is gorgeous - it makes mine look like a cheap kit! Congratulations.
