As far as i can tell this is a linear stage without RIAA. When you ramp up the gain you get noise, sure. If you would put a transimpedance RIAA after the mirror your noise from 1 kHz and up would drop. If you ramp up the open loop gain to 80dB plus transimpedance RIAA your gain at 20kHz would be 40dB, so 10dB less noise then what you have right now.
The gain of that RIAA would be 60dB nominal. Are the sources of 2SJ74 connected to the cascades and when, why ? There are other measures to lower the noise, that comes later.

Joachim...
for some reason my post above disappeared....where you commenting at my post?
It's not there anymore....

I do not know why it disappeared. I thought you had erased it to correct an error.
I have downloaded your circuit though and it is pretty cool. Yes, my commend was targeted at this post. Please repost it.

After chatting in private with joachim, I decided under his request to repost it.
The disclaimer is this:
I will open up a new thread and the name of it, chosen by our master Joachim is Masterpiece as it is based on the Paradise's technology.
Also, this is not going to be a group by, so the experienced people here will be able to build it on their own.
I will be in charge for building concept prototypes and test solution so that we can easily move forward.
the circuit has to be considered as a starting point as it needs adjustments.
I will post shortly and link here the new thread.

Thanks Joachim...this is going to be a very exciting project.

The platform's record says ''deleted by Stefanoo''. You should have pressed a button accidentally.

Joachim. I just recieved the trannies, so time to pair some Adams and Eves, for the paradise😀
Thx Frans. Never heard of that one.

You will have to be a little careful with the volume control 😀.MM gain 60dB
