I don't have access to a circuit diagram, but from what I can see, and have read, the stage is optimized for class A operation of the 6N1P triodes he uses, and transformer coupled without caps in the direct signal path. The tube rectifier is a 5U4 type that apparently uses some clever (? unspecified?) rectification twists, including bespoke capacitors (teflon/foil in oil capacitors that Dan has made for him) which are said to account for some of the sound quality. At some point I'll dig into it and see if I can figure out the circuit, but right now I'm having too much fun listening!
