Concerning the ELCAP option
Dear Mr. Salas,
Happy new year to you and to all!
If it has been discussed I have missed it but could you tell us more about the ELCAP vs. the Zobel option?
If one elects to use ELCAP and not use an electrolytic does the value still need to be 22 uF?
Just curious if a film cap might change that ...
Which version do you use (at the moment)?
Thanks,

Thanks,
ELCAP=Electrolytic Capacitor
Value=22uF >50V type=Normal ESR high quality brand
Me I prefer the MKP4.7uF+1.2R Zobel for bit better clarity but the ELCAP can give a warmer rendition if you got a hyped up rather cold cartridge or other alike cold link in some hi-fi chain. Its just an option I planted for synergy tweak potential. Also each brand and type of ELCAP can have a bit different impact.
Happy new year 2U2!

Mine is gone for test and he reports no signal at all not even noise. I wonder if he have confused in and output 🙂 😕😱😱
I sent him a message about this on facebook. Now it is a bit late so I think I will contact him tomorrow.
Did you run a bench signal test with gen & oscilloscope at least before passing that build for audio sessions?
😀 Didn't we all? JFET on input and capacitor on the output, no DC.
I hope only...For no bad transient either by working the input connections as powered on with a cart already on the output side. You never know, it can swing 22Vpk-pk on AC before distortion, half clipped it can go smack on 3rd stage's B+.
Nope I do not know to use a scope but have 2 . Would be nice with a tread about how to use it.
Can not find anything on the internet. Had an old tube scoope once I could understand.
What scopes you got? Analog, digital? Prefer YouTube tutorial videos, there are many.
It works no hum an very little noise. He found another cable because the CMC rca I have used is fake from Hong Kong so his male rca did not fit.

Sure I told him. He has a Accuphase C 27 to compare with. Hard competition 🙂

That thing has a gazillion fets & bjts in parallel.😀 Just to compare that to a bare bones phono conceived to can be made simply & successfully for all cart types targeting no technical excess, makes him not just a critic but a wishful thinker also. 🙂 We would be happy if he will say its OK for natural enough music I guess vs such stuff. And to can find a couple of economic carts and arms that they fit it best to recommend us back.😉
Getting closer!
Cases arrived today! I ordered them from Hong Kong on Dec 28, and I did not expect to see them until late January, so I am very please.
A little 11-inch wide "rack mount" 🙂 for the raw PSU:
Should be enough room for everything.
A larger 16-inch wide fake rack-mount for the folded:
Again, should be plenty of space.
I guess my next couple of weekends will be spent drilling and cutting metal, and wiring the raw PSU.
