What do you think of this approach?

Hmmmm........a cathode follower.
Looks somewhat like the Musical Fidelity X10D, which can be had for
less than $100 if you look carefully. And there's a different circuit
in that.

I'm not particularly fond of the sound of cathode followers.
If necessary, I use the Loftin-White CF circuit which requires 2
triodes per channel.

Anyway, the price of 340 AUS$ or even 410 with the Nirvana upgrade
(wazzit?) looks a bit steep to me.
For this amount (ca. 300 US$) you should be able to get a good preamp
kit I think.

But that's just my opinion, don't let me stand in the way of your
plans ;-)

Alway appreciate an experience and informed opinion.
Just started thinking about it. Most of the kits I've come across are quite
expensive. I'll keep poking about. Perhaps just getting the PWB, schematic
and parts list is a better way to go.
