I second the K and K phono amp kit ( max-out version).
Phono Preamp-Nothing you like so Build your own?
If I'm going to have to spend more than a thousand bucks to get a phono preamp that I like, I'd just as soon build it myself. It will be less expensive and I'll be able to choose my own components to get the sound I like. Does anybody else feel that way, and if so, how did it work out for you?
Right now I'm leaning towards a solid state unit based on the OPA627 with PIO caps and a very regulated power supply.

Heyraz, if you are doing DIY I think you will find you can do a lot better than designing around an opamp. Have you looked at http://www.diyaudio.com? Food for thought: if you set up a zero feedback circuit, even though it has the same bandwidth as a circuit with feedback, you will experience less ticks and pops. |
