Hi,
I would like to build the Paradise, but it seems I am a little late...
Has anybody a set for sale?
Or ist there any chance for another groupbuy?
Or would it even be possible to get the layout-files for the PCBs? - I know this is a lot to ask, but I just give it a try.
Thank you.

I have a stereo set that is already stuffed but without PSU. I have shown a simple PSU on MPP that you can use for a complete Paradise. I sell the stuffed boards for 400,- €.
And I can provide you with alternative PSU boards that have been proven with the Paradise. They're at least as good as the old group buy psu boards. £24+ p&p

Hi all. Found a set of boards and am ready to embark on my build. Are the schematics and BOM shown in post 1 (http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/group-buys/216891-paradise-phono-stage.html#post3106817) of this thread still current?
If there have been changes since post 1 I'd be very grateful for updated links.
Thanks in advance

Al, the standard BOM hasn't changed. If I were you I'd shoot for 1% matching on the input stage.
There is a shunt stability mod for anyone experiencing HF oscillation, 2 470n film caps as shown below. (ignore the electros).

Thanks SQ. Much appreciated.
One other question, if I may: Where can I find performance (noise and distortion) data for this design?

Since there is no group buy anymore, I think it is time Paradise designers to give away gerber files to home PCB makers.
I have this :
2 Pre-Regulators stuffed, Transfoeners, on common mode coil and some resistors missing.
2 Stuffed, working and calibrated Paradise boards without PSU
2 R31b boards with shunts
2 R3 boards without shunts

Got it Joachim. Thanks for the info.
Perhaps you may want to make the very fine performance data available to the public?

Michael Böresen made all the simulations. He should have the Data.
By the way, at the beginning on MPP i made a phono with AD797, although a special circuit. The performance was flawless. Still many think here that the discrete Paradise sounds better. I gave many reasons why that could be. Excuse me that i do not want to repete myself 100 times. We turned every stone here, the over 10.000 posts show.

I'm a 'bit' late starting on my Paradise but I'm just about to start pulling together the parts for the main board and Calvins and have a few questions before I start shooting off orders.
I'm slowly rereading the entire thread and hope to start ordering parts this weekend.
- Is the BOM R31, 30.04.2014 still the latest up-to-date version?
- Any parts substitutions I should be aware of (for unavailable parts etc...)
- For the LED's; I have a bag of >KingBright L-7104LGD< in the parts box. Are these suitable?

Hello Joachim
Still trying to understand the paradise schematic and need your input.
There are two voltage references that provide VCASCH and VCASCL.
The are made with a ccs and a zener in each case.
R11 Q97 D2 and R10 Q98 D1
What is the purpose of such a circuit ? In my simulations the circuit works perfectly without these subcircuits......
BTW.... Good sound in the MOC this year.... love your speakers 🙂
