Salas Folded Simplistic Phono (2014)

[StryGR]

Hi all DIYers from Athens, Greece.

I' m selling my best diy project I made 11 years ago under the invaluable guidance of Mr. Nikos Salas.

I tried to use the best components I could afford (and find) at the time, inclusive of a sturdy aluminum case and a toroidal transformer (from a specialist in Poland).

I used silver WBT solder throughout and I made the best solders possible (see photo)!

The phono worked for approx. 18 months with a VDH The Frog (MC-high cartridge) with great results!

For a short period, I easily configured the insides for MM cartridge as guided by Mr. Nikos. Again, great sonic results.

Since then, the phono remained in this configuration but disconnected from my stereo due to a "different hobby orientation".

To be able to re-swap again to MC configuration I prepared a bag containing every component as well as detailed instructions. If I'm correct I didn't omit anything.. 🙂

Unfortunately, I cannot help in any technical question as I have forgotten everything about this project, sorry. Mr. Salas could help here if possible.

I'm asking 800 euros + shipping.

For overseas buyers: you should also provision for customs fees but I don't know if it's possible because I have no selling experience outside the EU and eBay.

Thank you for reading this listing,


Stavros.
