No chance that you would share the gerbers?

I thought I read originally that it was called "OPENAMP1" because it was to be an "open" design, released under creative commons license or some such. Was I hallucinating? Am I confusing this with another project?

It is such a nice design, it would be of benefit to many if it was opened up so someone could organize a group buy or something.

The complete circuit may be downloaded from my website. I will probably release gerber files as well.

Finallllly got my phono stuff from the x ...

pre to OpenAmp1.jpg

I can finally upgrade my implementation of a pre on PMA's PCB to the full OPENAMP1

Here's my pre implementation of PMA's pcb ...

pre on OPENAMP1.jpg

...just to get it up and running.

Now that finally have it back, I can go RIAA!
... Er, where's that resistor pack ....

To everyone who might be interested, I have added the Gerber files for free download to the Openamp page:

Preamplifier for MM cartridge

You will find it below the assembled PCB photo, together with the pdf documentation. Should be used for personal use, not for business

Very kind of you Pavel! A big THANK YOU from my side.
Maybe we can gather some interested people for a mini GB of pcb's.

Yepp, I'm in for two boards. Thanks alot Pawel!
Even without the gerbers it would still be an open project. Your decision what to share.

There are any other people interested in this pcb? For a minimal Gb we need at least 10 pcb order.

I believe this is a very good mm phonoamp. I'm very eager to sample it's sound qualities.

That is indeed very generous, Pavel! I already have one so will not be interested at this time. I will say that it sounds very very good. Turbon i powered mine with a Salas shunt reg.
