| Calling all octal cornet builders, an invitation to post piccies and share experiences building this phono stage especially the scratch builders as I am leaning towards this design to build. Other octal phono designs most welcome infact a definitive octal thread would be great.Lead on McDuff! cheers fergs |

I've been looking at building one of these also, with the added variable phono eq mod (I have 78's I want to play).
Do you have a reasonably priced local source for the transformer? The hammond stuff usually costs about twice the price of the US out here, I'm in Melbourne also. |

| I reckon it would be worthwile for you guys to get a custom transformer wound. Since a phono stage can do with extra measures to keep noise out of your phono stage..Such as electrostatic screens between primary and secondary. And then go DC on the filaments with a seperate (maybe surplus) transformer. |

I am in the planning stages of building one also. Actually a Claricorn ( Clarinet and Cornet 2 ) in the same chassis with one power supply for both. I am also leaning towards wiring PTP instead of using the boards and building the Cornet side as a hybrid, ( miniature/octal ). I'm trying to keep the costs low. I have the power transformer already and I think I can source the rest of the parts for around $150.00 without the tubes and chassis. I will make the chassis myself. I would be very interested in pics and comments from others that have gone this route also.
