Bonsai’s X-Altra MC/MM Phono Preamp

Tim McCune of LIS kindly emailed me and has suggested that if builders cannot get the LSK 389B from their local distributors, they buy them direct from the LIS website here

Linear Systems

He pointed out the devices are not cheap as they are 100% noise tested - so this parameter is not sample tested as is the case with many other low noise discretes.
 
For Bob Cordell’s DH-220C design, I am offering the selected pairs of lsk489 & lsj689 as part of the blank pcb purchase to make it alot easier to obtain these parts. Shipping duties etc add a fair bit to an order, esp a low volume qty.

I went full circle and ordered the LSK389B direct from Linear. I discussed carriage with them and they agreed to ship by USPS first class package to the UK, reduced the cost to $15. Which is much more reasonable given the size/weight of the parts. Thanks Andy for your help with this.
