The Phono Stage - Page 11

Thanks Peter, for the kit, I have been using it with my Denon 103R and am very happy with the result.

A side note, I have a couple of MM phono amps (Project Tubebox SE II and Yaqin MS-12B) that I would like to downsize/sell. Which MM phono amp kit can you recommand so that I can have something for my nice MM cartridges as well?

I would recommend this circuit: AudioSector-chip amp kits, dacs, chassis with shunt regulators as in MC phono project.

Thanks Peter, I will give it a try. Will the opamp fit on a regular project board that I can get from Radio Shack?

Yup, but also known as The Source now

Hey all.
Well, Peter, all I can say is that every time you put forth a design it is always well thought out and truly professional looking...Congrats on that!
I am considering building one of these to replace my ARC PH3SE, which, while a truly nice piece of gear, just doesn't really have enough gain for the LOMCs that I enjoy using.
I am wondering - has anyone done any subjective comparison between this and any other good phono stages? I have quite a bit of listening experience with the Pass Xono, Whest 2, Rossner und Sohn, but ultimately would like to build something...
Regards,
Byron

Wrong! They are known as "The Shack" now.

North of the 49th it was rebranded as "The Source" when Circuit City bought them...

Well, I know a guy who used to listen through ARC PH7 to his heavily modified Versa Dynamic with ZYX Universe. After he tried this phono stage, he "hates" going back to PH7

HI Peter

not sure from the thread but is the kit ready to be bought??or just the boards? if so how much?
Usual paypal address?? Amount with postage to UK?? etc etc.

Peter Daniel · 28th November 2009, 03:37 PM

The boards are $40/pc plus $6 shipping, usual paypal address.

I still didn't decide on a kit as a total cost is quite high, but for now, I can supply most of the parts including V-Caps. No BGs though, as sourcing them presently is practically impossible.
