Tube Phono PCB - Improved WAD Design

I dub thee 'Tres Phono'! 😎

This is based on the WAD phono stage which is a very well known and excellent sounding phono stage! I improved upon it by using better components and adding a fully-regulated B+ and filament supply. All on a single PCB so all you add is a choke, power transformer and connectors. This went head-to-head with a highly modified EAR and blew it away. Very neutral stage and dead quiet! Also has provisions to add tuning caps to perfectly tune the RIAA points if you have the equipment to do so. PCB designed so parts can be on top or bottom if you want tubes exposed on a chassis. Purchase a PCB and I'll include the schematic and BOM. Part cost was just shy of $300 excluding tubes and chassis parts before the crap hit the fan with component availability.

$35 each shipped to USA. Contact me for international shipping.
