My (semi-)reference preamplifier
Long ago I've been thinking about adding a serious preamp to the system, because I want to have a turntable, casette (for "compartibility") and a tuner.
This project is reference wannabe  Ok, the features: 6 channel relay input selector 6 channel relay tape-return selector (most likely I will have this one separate, to select any source, in case I want to record stuff) 128 step (7bit) logarithmic relay attenuator (0.5dB or 1dB per step) 4 level 2 band(treble/bass) relay switched tone control (most likely -3dB 0 +3dB +6dB settings) RIAA stage for turntable (I know how the curve looks but dont have any idea how this gonna look like) Built in 3-way crossover (modules are already built, http://images.bite.lt/banga/files/cl...635138c408.jpg) Level indicators for all channels ? (maybe?) It will be controlled by static logic IC's (nothing fancy here, no need for MCU, no noises from MCU clock etc.) Stainless steel case. I plan using AD797 for input stages (RIAA corrector maybe) for low noise floor, NE5532 elsewhere (BJT input, low noise, besides I like the sound of it), Wima caps in signal circuits, SMD film resistors (the whole thing will be pretty much SMD), russian RES80 sealed, metal can, small signal, gold contact signal relays. Pretty much all, details of each block in the following posts.

Random brain noise.
Some ideas how relay switched tone stack will work. Finite state automata for it. How preamp will pretty much look. Some ideas how to make good looking buttons for it.

Basic attenuator block.
Exact resistor values to be found. I plan using these blocks: (0.5?) 1 2 4 8 16 32 64dB Maybe instead of 128dB max I'll use 96dB.

Logic based volume controller with preset, basically 2 reversive asynchronous counters + some logic to ensure that counters dont roll over 0000000 and 1111111.
4 (or maybe 5) upper bits will be fed to (several) 4-to-16 decoders and will display volume as a lighted tick. Quadrature decoder to be added.

Input selector blocks.
Uses some D-latches. Simple.

Pretty standart PSU.
I still think about using discrete regs for +/- 15V lines.

Tone stack controller, uses 3 simple logic ICs to allow simple +/- control, can be extended to more levels, but i think 4 is sufficient to slightly adjust tonal balance.

4 led indicator for each tone stack section. Will use 74LS15X (dont remember exactly which one, but the double 2-to-4 decoder)

32 led "tick" to indicate current volume level, pretty straightforward using 2 4-to-16 decoders + inverter.
Analog parts coming soon. Probably I will need help on what to use in the RIAA section, I dont even know what preamp is needed for MM/MC, and what is the difference on amplifying those, how much gain, eq ?
