Tfboy you are right, there is only 2 layers 😉 I can certainly do this PCB myself.

It seems to me that now there is a time to start to think about some nice case for this preamp. Are there any designs that somebody already started to work on?
IMHO, some coordination of the work on the case would be appreciated.

What are the requirements regarding power supply? This will to a great extend influence the enclosure design. I'm building a phono preamp in parallel which I intend to feed with 4000mA batteries. Would this be possible with this preamp as well? Or would the power consumption be too high for this direction?

Hope you find it useful but I have told Sparkos Labs about your situation regarding HxR's they produce discrete VR's I have some hear to try in my Input buffer boards not got around to trying them as I went with the Hypex ones love the 7 LED's!. Though I will if I can not get the Hypex ones. I use there Op Amps and they are very good.

BTW, I just checked with Hypex and have some bad news: the regulators are out of stock and there's a 60 day lead time on them which is a bummer for those of us who wanted them as well 🙁

Hi tfboy, does it still be possible to order a bare or assambled pcb?

I don't know how many spare boards I'll have. I'll let you know if there are any left at the end. Although if you're just after the blank boards, they are relatively simple for a PCB lab to make.

I'd happily help out with this - I've been doing some case designs for power amplifiers, doing the design in 3D MCAD. However, see the following question!

I don't know what the power consumption will be, but it can't be too high. With a potential case design, I don't know if we want to take a PSU into consideration (and have it located inside the case) or just provide a connector which is fed from an external PSU.

The preamp PCB has diode bridge and smoothing caps, so I'm presuming and someone please correct me if I'm wrong! that we provide a low voltage (15-20V) AC signal.

Thanks for the heads up, Colin. I've placed the order with Hypex this morning for the VRs. Let me know how you get on with the Sparkos Labs ones 🙂

Haha, well, as I don't have his contact details (despite buying an awful lot of Hypex gear!), please forward my thanks and gratitude.

I'd be up for a little PCB SMD challenge. 🙂 Doing 110 PCBs one after another, not quite so much 😉
