Post Subject: So far it is good.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/30/2011

I do like the assembly. I o not fine it messy at all BTW. I would like to have inputs slightly closer to the grid of the first tube. I would also run the heater wire further from the circuit and decent them from higher distance. With all in place you shall have sun 3-5mV of notice from MC level. BTW, I do not see any MC level efforts, so I guess it will be juts MM phonostage, right? Make sure that your input chokes “work” and that you bled enough current. Use good tubes and post your observations about Sound. BTW, you might want to make observations by replacing the air caps with mica caps (or whatever best caps you will be able to find). It is very easy to do and the results are very illustrative. Also, after you calibrated the air caps do not shake the unit as the air caps might move. It is difficult to adjust the air caps after they are in circuit…
