transducer's balanced phono amp

[peranders]

I'm not sure, I didn't own a scope at the time. What was happening was that only one channel would work. If I touched the ground of the input RCA jack, both channels worked. I had originally had the small caps in place and the unit worked fine. Upon removing them it started to cut out on me.

The design is a balanced input using a BB INA103 opamp, although I use RCA jacks for input, both the hot AND ground are isolated from the chassis. The circuit is basically stolen from the BB app notes, with a passive RIAA network from the Analog Devices applications guide, and then an OPA604 output (will soon replace with OPA627.

Ron, have you thought about that the signal from your pickup is floating but if you want to use this "balanced" signal you must change cable, a shieled pair cable or two shielded cables per channel.

Check Klaus Böning and his balanced amp ”La Bohème”

Check especially his balanced inputs.
