I built a Bottlehead Seduction phono amp in 2008 for $279. I added their $75 upgrade kit and later purchased upgraded tubes. I thoroughly enjoyed the build and learned a bit about electronics. Glad I did it, especially at such a low cost. I am still using it in a third system located in my record storage room. Bottleheads current offerings should be better. Go for it.
Bottlehead phono preamp project during Coronavirus boredom?
I recently received word from the school district that I work for, that I would be home providing online education to my students. So I plan to have plenty of "home time" in my future and was thinking of building a kit. My question to all Audiogoners is:
Is building a new Bottlehead Reduction 1.1 phono preamp a worthwhile project? What is the quality of sound? Is it only for MM cartridges or will low output MC cartridges work?
Thanks Gentlemen!
