hoping there will be boards available later on
I just cannot afford to build this yet, so I am hoping there will be some boards later on.
someone should start builders thead 🙂
I would like to see how you all get on with chassis etc.

Hi JP,
Thanks so much for making the layout for us! Would you happen to have a BOM for the boards? There are some specialized jacks/swithces/etc that we could use the part numbers on. Or is it all in the Schematic already?

Hi X,
see previous replies including Excel BOM. But I´ll check and publish new ones until wednesday.

This sounds like a very cool project that i look forward to building. Thanks to all three of you, AKSA, xrk971 and JPS64 for providing this resource 🙂 PM Sent

Johnny2Bad:
Motherboard is only TH, so do you want two TH MB’s? The daughterboards come in 3 flavors: TH, SMT, and SMT metal core.
Sorry, yes, 2 MBs
1 TH daughterboards
1 SMT (FR4) daughterboards

Balanced in and out
If I needed the preamplifier to have balanced in and out, would I need two of each?

Yes, I think so. I am not sure how much of the PCB would need to be modified as the inputs and outputs are single ended RCA jacks. Maybe Hugh or JP can answer.
BV,
Best option is to use balanced transformers, made by Sowter, Jensen, and Lundahl. They are expensive, but the best to use because they give galvanic isolation, guarantee to stop earth loop which make hum.

GB Status Update. 30 Motherboards ordered, so we are coming up against a limit of how many more folks can join this GB.
28 sets so far, 2 remaining. But experience tells me that there will be one or two folks in the list who will not go through with it, so there are probably 3-4 sets remaining, if my estimates of no-shows works out.

I just tested this preamp as a headphone amp and it works very well. I installed a 2SA1837 as the output BJT (vs the KSA1381) and dropped Vcc to 24v and bias to 80mA across a 2.2R source resistor on the 2SA1837. Also installed 2200uF 50v output cap to get bass response lower. Listened to a bunch of tracks using DT880-250 in pseudo stereo so amp sees 125ohms load (L&R driven in parallel). It runs dead quiet.

Hi X,
do you´ve ordered Mainboard? I would do a smal modification, adding a RK ALPS potentiometer in parallel to TKD one (cheaper solution).
