Thanks minerwelder. I was all set to build either a Tavish, Bugle2, Emerald, or Muffsy. Here's a thread I started on the subject:
Shopping for $200-ish Phono Preamp Kit
But I don't currently have a good place to set up my turntable, so I build a guitar amp instead!
I used the Triad C-14X choke. Some have used the Edcors. Search this forum to see what others have used.
I built the most basic, stock configuration. So far, I haven't wanted to mod it. I didn't use the extra external motor run cap, and don't need it. My is almost dead quiet.

I really like my Bugle 2, and Jim Hagerman is just as good to work with as George, Mine cost me 120 US, with an aluminum enclosure.
