Paradise Phono Preregulator

[Benedetto]

Heureka,
we've got a pre-final layout,
but i'm way to dumb to post a PDF !?!

 

[Benedetto]

In Fact,
last weekend we had the chance, on Frickelfest-light,
to assemble some experts like J.Gerhard,
F.de Witt and H.Barske amongst some others
and had real fun discussing the details of the
forthcoming final try.

Was looking at the talema chokes... Difficult to find, any alternatives?

Not really.
And,
there will be the choice to get it complete.

In germany ... Try that in Asia (where I live) 🙂

In case i recall it properly,
you've got the Paradise parts full service.
So why not these ?

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

I checked the latest PCB design and we are getting there.
Still i would prefer even wider tracks.
The footprint for the electrolytics should allow Panasonic THC, F&T and for luxury Mundorf.
It is not necessary to use 63V types, 35V is enough.
Maybe we should also make it possible to use Panasonic common mode coils as an alternative to the Telemas.

 

[Benedetto]

As far as i know,
the panas share the same footprint...
The other details we've already discussed
are on their way....

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Good.

Mmm... Impatience, I guess. This is my first phono pre, and my michell gyrodec is waiting in silence .... 😉

 

[Benedetto]

Got the final shot on my machine.
Got to get rid with it.
Gonna show you tomorrow. 🙂

 

[Benedetto]

This is how it' ment to be.
Enjoy 😀

If the Talema's are hard to source, I used Schaffner RN152-1-02 in my prereg. Similar specs.

RN152-1-02 Schaffner | Mouser

RN152-1-02 Schaffner EMC Inc | 817-1551-ND | DigiKey

 

[Benedetto]

As far as i can tell,
footprint is equal but price is about 3x ! 😱

 

[buzzforb]

Didnt say it was best option😀

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

It hurts when you want to be pretty.

 

[buzzforb]

Beauty is deinitely expensive these days. I picked it only because it was the closest i could find to the original, spec wise. I am all for cheaper option.

No bad comments for the Layout from the
most adorable Volunteer ? 😀

Hello,

wow, that looks great. Thanks for all the efforts.

I have a very selfish question: does someone plan to do a group by for the PCBs?

cheers, Tom

Hello Tom,
this is exactly what this Thread is intended for. 😀
