The boards measure 135mm x 100mm and are very good quality.
Thanks Marra, gutted they are unavailable so have to look for an alternative MM phono stage.

Many thanks Pavel I have just spent a very pleasant afternoon listening to the Openamp1 in tandem with my Sowter SUT and Denon DLS1 cartridge and must say that I am very pleased with the sound.Thanks again.
Hello guys, I am sorry but I have not been producing or selling anything of audio in the last year. I will give an info if anything is changed.
Right, thanks Pavel for the information. They surely looks good.
No chance that you would share the gerbers?

PMA;
some comments today in the Blowtorch thread reminded me that i meant to ask you a while ago why you chose LT1010 instead of BUF634 for OpenMM?
thanks,

never mind,
i saw the interesting distortion plot and your comments on opa637+buf634 line stage posted today in the blowtorch thread .

I thought I read originally that it was called "OPENAMP1" because it was to be an "open" design, released under creative commons license or some such. Was I hallucinating? Am I confusing this with another project?
It is such a nice design, it would be of benefit to many if it was opened up so someone could organize a group buy or something.
The complete circuit may be downloaded from my website. I will probably release gerber files as well.
Finallllly got my phono stuff from the x ...

I can finally upgrade my implementation of a pre on PMA's PCB to the full OPENAMP1
Oh ...
BUF634

HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT: 250mA
SLEW RATE: 2000V/ms
PIN-SELECTED BANDWIDTH: 30MHz to 180MHz
LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT: 1.5mA (30MHz BW)
WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: ±2.25 to ±18V
INTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Supply Voltage ........................................................... ±18V
SPEC
Current Output, Continuous ±250 mA
LT1010

20MHz Bandwidth
75V/μs Slew Rate (=75,000V/ms)
Drives ±10V Into 75Ω
5mA Quiescent Current
Drives Capacitive Loads > 1μF
Current and Thermal Limit
Operates from Single Supply ≥ 4.5V
Very Low Distortion Operation
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Total Supply Voltage ..............................................±22V
Continuous Output Current (Note 2).................. ±150mA

To everyone who might be interested, I have added the Gerber files for free download to the Openamp page:
Preamplifier for MM cartridge
You will find it below the assembled PCB photo, together with the pdf documentation. Should be used for personal use, not for business 😉

Very kind of you Pavel! A big THANK YOU from my side.
Maybe we can gather some interested people for a mini GB of pcb's.

Yepp, I'm in for two boards. 😀 Thanks alot Pawel!
Even without the gerbers it would still be an open project. Your decision what to share.
Regards
There are any other people interested in this pcb? For a minimal Gb we need at least 10 pcb order.

I believe this is a very good mm phonoamp. I'm very eager to sample it's sound qualities.
