N-set, by "traces" I meant the archaic(?) term for circuit.  I envy those who can use a scope like Tarot cards.

Will you mount initial gain tranny (or, not...) outside the phono stage box? I recommend it. Anyway, obviously, noise is much less of a problem without additional active onboard "MC" boost.

I have not played much with the copper boards.  Mostly I use heavy, tinned Cu wire for a central "bus"; but this might be mostly becasuse I am too lazy to punch the holes.

Anyway, good luck with beta trials, and don't be afraid to use a well-grounded probe (on ground only!) if/when/where hum is an issue.  Again, it is cynicism, but I figure it is either some hum or some tube "rush", so it's really a question of how much.

Best regards,
Paul S
