Simplistic NJFET RIAA

[Salas]

Does it stay cool enough?

[AndrewT]

Yes, the outside is really cool to the touch.

How do you know? Chalkandtalk's build has been experienced by you? He lives near?

The Mosfets are bolted to the case. After listening for about 3 hours the box is slightly warm.

I am becoming a convert to Vinyl. It sounds great.
All this after getting a Technics SL-DL1 for £12.50. What will a moving coil cartridge sound like he ponders....?

Salas:

Ideally I would like to fit the RIAA circuit, my Hypnotize DCB1, and an active crossover in one box. This front end sounds so good that it deserves to be in a smart enclosure. Is this a bad idea? Should the RIAA be kept separate?

[Salas]

It has been combined before, if transformers and AC cabling of any kind are kept in a separate box there will be no hum penalty and you avoid interconnects. Integration is a benefit signal routing wise.

A high output low cost MC like Denon DL-110 will give you a good step over most budget MM.

Is it a P-Mount type cartridge only TT though? Parallel tracker non the less. Competent.

Yes it's p-mount but it seems very competent as you say.

I must have brought home about £1000 (76 boxed sets alone) of unwanted quality vinyl from our music dept. There' a lot of stuff that I've never heard. Mainly classical. I have just listened to Lohengrin - it's as if I'm in the auditorium!

Your circuit has certainly put a smile on my face Salas. I owe you some beer mate.

Now should I pursue that Townshend deck with Goldring Eroica cartridge. It will certainly be more than £12.50.


PS like the jazz clip

[Salas]

Seems like a well set TT and playing nicely for what it is. P-Mount is not a carts category that has much notable stuff. Maybe Ortofon X1-MCP.

I run a P-Mount search for checking what's available.
