Thanks, i get better at using perfboards. I build prototypes now that way. 3D open air ( some call it dead bug ) is hard to debug so i do it not that way any more.
Sure, but trust me, the new method is much more efficient when the circuit gets more complex. It also gives me a hint how a PCB will look and how much real estate it needs.
Joachim - you have what appears to be a winning team. This is the absolute best of DIYAudio.
Congratulations to you every one of you!🙂
With gratitude.

Hey, i absolutley have to join a forthcoming PCB-buy. count me in for 100-200 Q's if possible.
Adjusting R33 and R35 is not tweaking, just set it for the desired voltage for optimum cascode bias.
In practice, I tried with a trim pot, and then solderd a coincidential fixed resistor in.

EDIT: Michael, I can't read it: What are the parameters of the input Voltage Source (you use for the distortion measurement)

PM me and as soon as I receive the goods I will notify you, and other people that PM'ed me. The order has been placed and payed.

Frans.
I have adjusted the gain wit a fixed resistor to 55 dB...
The input voltage is 1 mV. Which is more than most high-end cartridges put out...frequency is 1k KHz.

Frans, Michael was asking about a PSU but you have already posted it i think. When you see the latest circuit would you make any adjustments ? Anyway, could you please post your solution again please ?
I would prefer 60dB. My Titan i gives out 0,5mV 5cm sec so we have 0,5V out. That is even not enough for some Ortofons and others.
I'll adjust the RIAA values to fit that, We lost 4-5 dB's in the degeration of the input...
a little scaling will do.....🙂

Still working on the final version (there is a (small) one wire change). I will publish in the next hour.
About the servo, normally I would use a somewhat bigger capacitor (1u poly) and smaller resistors 1Meg or even 100K. My opamp of choice for servos is the OPA134 (like D.Self 🙂)
Sorry Joachim one small change to make, the capacitor that was placed between the transistor base and ground has been moved to (between) transistor base and output. This gives a much improved load response.
Attached are may (currently final) research and power supply schemas with annotations. Also attached are the LTspice source files. Next thing for me (is build the real thing).
There are a positive and a negative supply and one variation that uses (almost) the same components for the negative supply as for the positive.
Also note that BC327 and BC337 transistors can be used to replace the BC550 and BC560.
And finaly, if you want more than 100 mA you should replace the single transistor (in the gyrator) with a Sziklai pair having a Rcb of about 100 Ohm. (more usage for your BC327 and BC337 transistors).
