Hi shoom,
Thank you for your advice. I'll might order this.
For solder, I used WBT leaded till now and it is an excellent product. However, it is very expansive and I'll probably go for Cardas.
If the folded has a buffer of it's own, then could you just add a potentiometer to it to make a single source system?
Yes, if the -10dBV nominal output level is enough and the amp will like a pot without extra buffer like having a DCB1.
Hi Marra
Had the same issues several times on previous builds. Always found the problems related to cold solder joints.... look for connections between the shunt output and riaa amp... look also at the riaa filter components.
I do not really understand the function off VR1 ?
Here is my finnished Build using 2,2 uf 160 V Pept caps instead off the 22 uf.
Touching the box with cover on after 1,5 hour I can not feel it is hot at all. Adjusted to 4 v between. C3 in and Gnd. Adjustement do not change much after the first 5 minutes.
Voltage in is 46 Vdc
Now I am looking forward to hear it somewhere . I do not have a Turntable 🙂
VR1 is there to help if VR2x is not effective enough and B+ between channels goes too different unbalancing gain. This could be due to different input pairs IDSS or other tolerances. Something like coarse and fine. But not engaged unless needed. A spare.
Looking well finished and with stable bias. Congrats. What is the B+ you ended up with by the way?
Alright. Next move is to find some good TT to hook it up for a session now. It should take some play time for the BGs and NOS in PSU to settle.
How you decided R2, R3 will be 10R without knowing the 369s IDSS? Came paired with resistors in some minikit?
