Finger still hovering over the still non-existant BUY IT NOW button... Probably will happen while I'm on my trip to Portland later this week...
As painful as waiting for Santa. 'visions of FETs and PCBs dancing in my head; forget the sugar-plums.
Maybe putting out an offering of milk and cookies...

For scale, the (partly stuffed) BA2018 board next to pair of Pearl 3, on 230x330 Galaxy.
Could the p3 power-supply be used to power the phono boards AND the BA2018 in a setup like that? Cause I have also been thinking about an all Wayne pre-amp like that. Maybe through my LxMini ACN in there to (anyway to run that off the same power supply?)
For grins I have assembled on perf board a LM7815 and a Sparcos 7815 3 legged supplies.
Both supplies are operated into a breadboard of the P3 input stage.
The raw supply for both is a TRIAD 18volt DC wall wart. See the attached AP scope and FFT plots.
The LM7815 regulator is much cleaner.
Thanks DT
Orange is the LM7815 regulator.
