Turbon why don't you just order an assortment of parts to individual quantity from the likes of Hi-Fi Collective, Michael Percy, or Parts Connexion? They got quite a gamut.
I'll look into them during spare time in the weekend. Thanks Salas - but a GB would be a lot smoother. Few I'll guess have the time needed to find sourcing fun - better that someone who finds it fun makes atleast a part of living outta it.

Well;I'm flummoxed 😕I swapped over the leads from the deck and all was quiet to start with but after one side of vinyl the noise was back.The output leads were changed next and after two LP's nothing but lovely;dynamic;detailed and natural sounding music.Nothing but some hiss at higher volume levels;guess I'm going to have to keep an ear open just in case.
For interest the cartridge loading resistor are Vishay Bulkfoils with a Naked Z foil at R14.The interstage is an MKP1837 with a Solen on the output.These will more than likely be swapped out when I obtain a bigger case as I have a 0.1uf Teflon and an Ampohm oil/wax cap waiting in the wings.

Better stay away from carbon anything in the first stage for the 57 & 63dB at least. There is Takman Rey metal film also. This is low noise high gain circuitry never forget.
Can you post a picture? Maybe a grounding is weak or the panels of the boxes don't show continuity at all times?
This is true. I lost one by manipulating it a bit once. There is a warning on their spec sheet that I know its to be taken seriously since then.

Reading your last post now has me wondering.The case is on the small size and the lid is not fully pushed home so as to allow a bit better ventilation.I will push it on properly and screw it down.Hopefully the holes I drilled in the base and back will vent it enough.
Do that, watch its behavior and we will see. There are also the electrolytics forming from storage now. If its some FET that got a hit during the mishap and developed an intermittently leaky gate it could be a drag to pinpoint. Better not.
OK. Work the interconnects a bit too at the point where cables exit male connectors if the weird noise reappears in case its an intermittent shield connection not related to the build itself.
