About the VV3
The Line Magnetic VV-3 is a limited-production, 300B-based vacuum-tube line preamplifier. It uses a transformer volume control rather than a conventional potentiometer and a Western Electric WE20A-inspired tube power supply. The output stage uses four 12AU7 tubes. Available product information says production ended after a limited number were made, reportedly because of parts-supply problems.
