GB for Salas Folded Simplistic Phono PCB

[poseidonsvoice]

Salas and TB ,

A tag team that I for one am honored to know and an absolute boon for us DIY builders!
Thank you very much. I feel like this might be the best solid state phonostage design I have seen and for a mere pittance of what a retail product will go for!

Best,
Anand

Guys can you post a clean picture of the production item because mine will be coming a bit later? I want to see about some final details I put, on how they got executed.

Here it goes, sorry for the quality of the pic.

 

[Salas]

Yep, looks fine. All the final notes there, and the color seems deeper than in the prototype if it is not the lights. Thanks KR!

And this one?

 

[Salas]

In this shot it looks more open blue closer to the proto.

 

[rclourenco]

And this one?

the second is more correct when I compare with the original.

 

[Salas]

Indeed.

salas folded mini-kit

Hi TeaBag

Got the PCBs and the Minikit today - Thanks !

quick question(s) :

1. I guess the 2SK170's is still missing (or they are in the shipment ?).
2. I can see that C4 is not present (2.2uF). I got plenty of ELNA Caps , but there is no Capacitor in that value (has 22uF). is there a film capacitor instead ?

Thanks ,

Hai

 

[Tea-Bag]

Hai,
You should have gotten the 2SK170's. They would be in the larger bag, with the other smaller bags. Typically in a clear small bag.
The minikit did not include a C4. Only the RIAA caps .015 and .047.
The first post has most of the minikit info to for reference. Most of the minikit is to get the power supply piece running, and some essentials for the board. Of course the small caps are for the signal portion, as well as any 2SK's that were sent your way.
PM with any particulars if your missing something.
There is a lot that is not included, almost all signal resistors and others caps, etc. Most will use there preffered stuff for that.

Thanks ,
I will go over all parts again and see.

Has to mention this was one of the fastest shipments I have ever got !

Thanks again. Can't wait to assemble it.
