Phono Stage

ALL TUBE MC/MM  Phono Stage        

 

Introducing my new, hand made,  phono stage. As with all tube amps the sound starts with the power supply. First the power supply is separated from the amplifier stage to insure a hum free operation. Much emi/rfi noise is generated from the power supply. Connecting it via shielded cables to a separate power supply results in dead silent operation. As you can see from the pictures this unit uses a 274B rectifier tube. It blows away any other rectifier tube that I have heard, period. The original 274b was made by Western Electric. It has the largest, sweetest soundstage around. The power supply consists of a Solen 4uf capacitor, as specified for the 274b. Next is a choke for quiet power. Finally two large capacitors totaling 150uf deliver the bass, and clarity of your prized vinyl.

The heart of any phono pre is the accuracy of the RIAA curve. This circuit eliminates most of the surface noise from your records. It is very important that the components used in this section are matched and of the correct value. If it is wrong, frequencies that should be removed for quiet operation may not be correct. Both left and right channels must be exactly the same to achieve a perfect sound stage. No detail has been left to chance.

Since this is a two gain stage unit, it comes standard with the ability to use either a MM or MC cartridge. When used with MM it just eliminates one of the gain stages. This allows many different options for future cartridge purchases.  It is also supplied with five different loading resistors. Just about any cartridge can be used now, or in the future. Custom loadings available. All resistors have been matched for a great soundstage. 4 X 12ax7 tubes are used for a crisp, clean sound. The top is left open for tube rolling. Model shown in pictures has non standard upgrades installed.
