Hi,
just an info for people wishing a kit like me.
Yesterday I received from Mouser all parts for building the Phonoclone 3. Thanks to the BOM proposed by Rjm few posts up in this thread it has been very simple. I just had to replace two resistors (not available at the moment) with similar ones in the infinite Mouser catalog. I got the parts in 3 working days via FedEx, VAT automatically charged by FedEx.
So, I think Rjm is right, it is not necessary anymore to overload him with a kit preparation.
Thank you Rjm for your great job
Renato

resistors
I ordered my phonoclone boards..Thanks RJM!
I have not reviewed the several threads on the phonoclone fully.
A quick question. Is it just trying to get the 'house sound' of the original 47 labs stuff that carbon comps are used here?
Does anyone have any comments about the relative sound here versus metal films to this application?
I am considering Takman or PRP if I can find them in close values.

Re: resistors
Mike - this is what I have been wondering - especially after reading this http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-PhonoStages.html, look for SAKURA (47 LABS) PHONO STAGE.
I have been searching for a few days, looked at Caddock TF020's and Vishay Bulk Foils VTA52, could not find anyone doing Nude Vishays (probably a good thing!).

Re: Re: resistors
You mean that old chestnut where - you might be amused to learn - I originally got the info that the 47 Labs phono stage used the OP27, at which point it all started to "click" and the phonoclone as we know it today (pre-Xreg version) was born.
I have no idea what a "Nuded" Vishay is. I selected carbon composition in the places I use them for their non-inductive qualities. It's a personal decision and you are free to substitute any type you want, provided it fits on the board.

Hello,
being one of the very few that got the complete kit for the Phonoclone3 from Rhys including boards, I can state that all parts to fit on the PCB should be included (including OPAMPS and IC sockets)
In my case a few resistors were missing and R1,R2 to set the amplification were also not included

Sorry for the silence, I haven't kept tabs on this thread since the big upgrade to diyaudio which reset my notifications list.
Order info: here
note you can also download the schematics and BOM from that link
Order procedure: You send me an email requesting a Paypal invoice, I send you the invoice and ship the item as soon as I receive payment. Turnaround on these seems to be quite fast, 7-10 days total, as they can be shipped air mail and are small enough that customs don't usually bother with them.
Status :
I recently shipped the 25th VSPS kit, that's 1/4 of them sold, a small milestone that I'm quite proud of. No missing parts, and no complaints ... looks like everything is OK.
I also have one set of VSPS 300 boards left at present, and will order more when that one is sold. There also also plenty of Phonoclone boards on the shelf.
Capacitors for C1, C2 and C3 as well as the electrolytics are available for the VSPS300 and Phonoclone boards. Quite of lot of people decide to order the caps with the boards, I guess it's the convenience - they aren't all that exotic, but tracking them all down can be a bit of a pain.
