MC preamp

Not sure if this post belongs in this section or not but it is a solid state project so. Has anyone ever built this circuit? It's for a moving coil cartridge preamp, I found it while going through about 20 pages of electronic circuits. I found it interesting because it looks very easy to build and I have most of the parts on hand.preamp link
 
maybe i'm prejudiced but this circuit looks like a recipe for disaster. IME any capacitor, especially electrolytic, coupling a cartridge is very likely to comletely destroy its sound . If you want something which stands a chance to play music have a look at the circuit which Dice45 once described - a single (or several paralleled) FET with resistive load and battery power. The same topology works fine with valves too.
