Something like my circuit would have been used for everything by the top studios in the early 1970s.If you are recording certain types of high dynamic range stuff like drums, it would still do an excellent job. For unaccompanied choir and piano, good 'modern' IC stuff would give better results. You need to distinguish between stuff with high dynamic range (soft bits & loud bits) and stuff which is just loud. The former is MUCH more difficult to record.If you want a working preamp, choose one of the simpler circuits like ESP or the THAT datasheets and build it EXACTLY as shown.If you want to understand how to design good LN amps, you will learn more building my circuit and working out why it is better than your earlier efforts.I've recommended you build it exactly as shown and add transformers later. I've also told you what you gain when you add the output Crimson and the input Sowter.To get the full advantage, you need to do your homework ... reading "The Art of Electronics" or my LNprimer from Yahoo MicBuilders.
