Two stage tube phono preamp

Two stage tubecad tube preamp. Russian PIO inter-stage caps and Sprague RIAA comp.caps. Separate PS and preamp powered by 24VAC wall wart. Linear PS develops 295V. All built on veroboard no PCB. Excellent sounding. Also to use a MC cartridge I have built a Le Pacific jFET pre-pre.

Le Pacific pre-pre for MC

My build of the Le Pacific pre-pre was contained on a single piece of veroboard with battery pack. I matched the 2SK170 BLs. Output caps are Russian PIO. Same caps as use on the tubecad tube preamp in an earlier post. This pre-pre has been designed to work with the tube preamp which uses the same caps. It got cramped in the case but sounds excellent. Very pleased with both the Tube preamp and the Le Pacific pre-pre for MC.
