Pete Millett LR phono

I realize that I should just put these in the for sale thread, and I will, but, ahem, hint hint. Will likely sell at a considerably reduced price. Note the inductors.

YES, IF IT WERE ME, I WOULD LIKELY USE A DIFFERENT TRANSFORMER. I DID A SLOPPY JOB ON IT. THE REST OF THE BUILD IS IMPRESSIVELY DONE!

BUT: the BOM description says 1/4W resistors, yet the part numbers are 1/8W – size is a little different – which is right does anyone know?
From pfarrell's post #46:
Looking at Pete's BOM he's specing all RN55 resistors (very nice since they are small and the values are labeled on the body)... you can search this online but that series of Dales are mil-spec which are "underrated", so an 1/8W resistor is 1/4W in actuality. You are good to go.

You will hear different takes about battery supplies, but I am in the camp that strongly supports this thinking as well as doing a preamp the same way. The obvious benefit is that your unit cannot create hum. To me, that worth the effort all by itself.

We all look forward to seeing your build.

I have it up and running, it sounds excellent... but it's very low gain, wonder if I've done something wrong? I understand it should be about 40dB of gain, I'd guess I'm getting less than 30 comparing with my Schiit Mani 2. Does anyone have any thoughts?
