Anybody have a pictures of the power supply build?i can't figure it out why my dc voltage drop from 48 voltage to 34-36v as soon as I connect power to the phono board.i'm using antek toroid trans.thanks

You mean the raw DC to the phono regulator input drops? Or the rail voltage after the regulator is 34-36V? In the former case maybe you use highish value filter resistors between bridge and main filter capacitors on the raw PSU board? In the latter case its the normal thing to happen.

It takes more rail voltage to go right on TP. Got to fix your DCin higher first. Its not strange, its voltage drop across the 50R in the raw PSU RC by the current draw when you hook up the phono as load. You overcompensated anticipation for possibly bit high trafo secondary with that value.
