WTB - MC phono amp (~500\850$)

[perfidoclone]

Hello,
I'm looking for the best preamp MC phono on the market, like the Ono/Xono, Pearl 2...
I would like a fully mounted and tested device.. 220v..
Thank you,

For your budget you can DIY Salas Simplisitic NJFET RIAA, fun to do it & a lot to learn.

 

[perfidoclone]

Thank you.
Where I can buy it?
Is it a kit with all components and the toroidal?
For you it is the best DIY phono amp?
Ciao,

Matteo

Wich cart do you have?

 

[perfidoclone]

EMT TSD 15 SFL Naked

Is this cart? EMT | Cartridge Data | Vinyl Engine

 

[perfidoclone]

Yes, but not exactly.
You can find it :

The first one.. SFL version

It's a low MC cart 0,21mV very similar to mine Denon DL103R, also high compliance so needs a tonearm with high mass.

See the attached schematic with Salas Folded Simplistic schematic and Guide, I'm now doing one exactly for my Denon DL103R. Do you think can do it?

I have a few of the Borbely 432 MM/MC amps that would fit the ticket, PM me if interested

Thanks

Kit or mounted? how much shipping to Spain?

 

[PBNAUDIO]

They are assembled kits - I will put them in a nice chassis before shipping ready to plug in and enjoy, figure about $ 100 or so for 3-4 day shipping or about $ 40 for mail service 10 - 20 days

Thanks

Peter

 

[merlin el mago]

How much the full assembled kits?

 

[PBNAUDIO]

I can get it to you for $ 850 including postage - $900 if you want the 3-4 day.

It will take me a few days to get it put in a chassis

Thanks

Peter

PM sent..

 

[PBNAUDIO]

Here they are- I have two of them and a correction they are the 420 not the 432, only difference is that outputs form output amp is TO92 JFET on the 420, and TO220 Mosfet on the 432

Good listening

Hey , Very clean &nice build !
That's mine 419 . Vary pleasant pre for the price . It doesn't have tube pre "bloom" but it is very neutral and smooth sounding. I see that you use big capacitor bank . When I built mine few years ago the fashion was "small and fast PSU " I was going to revisit the PSU with bigger power transformers and Pre regulated supply with at leat 10-20mF on the rail.
