OLD THREAD Hi-end phono preamplifier by Andrea Ciuffoli

I sent pcb phonno D3A from four weeks ago, have you received today and you still have not received, I sincerely apologize for the delay of mail. I sum up your list and help me fill this list:

A. Phono D3A PCBs arrived :
1. pred
2. johngalt47
3. guglielmope
4. Loboone
5. ……


Phono D3A PCBs not arrived :
1. johngalt47
2. 2. vanofmonks
3. John Caswell
4. klaju1955
5. ……..
 
Please note:
There are a few errors on the schematics. One of which is irf9160. It should be irf9610 and NOT irf9160. Corrections have been made by quanghao on the previous page on the power supply AND the amplifier board schematics.

The parts list that is listed on the net still has these errors.

1N4172 is another error:

1N4172 should be 1n41742A

I found another thread with some answers:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/quan...shunt-simpler-simplistic-design-salas-32.html

it seems any 1/2 or 1W 12V zener will work.

I know nothing about tube sockets...in fact, this is my first effort at anything to do with tubes.

What am I looking for when trying to buy tube sockets for this preamp? Is one better than another one?

Hi , i could not find sockets locally. I had to do the ebay thing.

After some searching these "looked" to be to be the best value for money. I hope!!

Ceramic Mini 9-Pin Silver Plated PCB Tube Socket 1 PCS - eBay (item 220620287066 end time Jul-10-10 22:28:29 PDT)

Don't take my word that they are good , but those are the ones I sourced.
 
Tube sockets.

This link from Tangmonster is good. These people are good. I have been a regular customer for 8 months and when something went wrong they fixed it immediately. I have some of their 9 pin sockets and they are good quality.
