Academy Audio VCU Muses volume control plus mini dual supply

Never really got round to using this properly as I went to a balanced source, so in as new condition and working order. The Muses is simply the best volume control available, no question.

Included is a complete mini dual polarity 15V 78xx / 79xx regulated supply module designed for me by the mighty Prasi. The built module requires dual secondaries so I will include a second improved PCB that will accommodate both dual and centre tapped windings. A BOM will be provided should the buyer need to build the second supply.

Also included is a 230V AC, 15 + 15V 2VA Myrra transformer with AMB mounting PCB - a whole solution ready to go. If the buyer wanted fancy low noise regulation, then build the green PCB up with 18V regs and strap some 15V LDOVR regs on the output.

For USA this PCB transformer should work.

The VCU has ben replaced by the VCX, so possibly a collectors item 😉

I highly recommend the VCU has buffers on the input or output depending on your source and end circuit impedance etc. Sjostrom Diamond buffers are superb but XRKAudio has developed some very good ones available in his Etsy shop:
