Bigbottle MC only Valve/JFET phonostage Group Buy

[Marra]

Looks to be coming along nicely Oliver.

Thanks, Marra.

It's the third one I've built but I still need to take my time to make sure everything is right.

I'm looking forward to this one as the other two were on the prototype PCB which wasn't as nicely made as this one.

Hi GK,

Unfortunately, all the boards are currently sold with one hold awaiting payment.

I am happy to do another round of the group buy and if there are anymore interested parties, shout up!

I need a minimum of either 5 people or 5 orders to do the group buy.

Payment in advance of ordering.

Thanks

Oliver.

Thanks, I will try to ask if any of my friends are interesting.

BTW, how many gain could set maximum of this phono?

Are you asking what gain it will produce?

If so, I'll have to find out from the designer who is currently on holiday.

There is no variable gain. It's a fixed gain design. Apparently.

Gain is 65db.

Quick wasn't I lol.

Bought the last few bits to finish populating the board.

Total spend so far is around £70.

Power transformer

Hi,
One other supplier of custom toroid power transformers is Audiophonics in France. Have bought from them earlier and the quality is very good, but not potted.
As an example, the price for one toroid transformer suitable for the Bigbottle phonostage, with 165V 0.1A and 2X9V 1.3A = 40VA is €29.30 + P&P. The price is calculated with 10% extra for voltage over 100V and 10% for an electrostatic screen. You can also select from three different profiles of the transformer, low, standard or high.
Cheers, seppoa
