Phono Amp

should be gettng my shearne phase 2 amp in the next week
but it has no phono stage

so does anyone know of any good DIY phono stages preferably a kit?
id like to try the WAD valve kit but the cost is prohibitive once you add the power supply.
so solid state or valve, ive tried a google search but didnt pull out many kits

 

Here are a few...........

Just some I found !!

 

er
my google must be broken

 

I used stuff other than google....also searched for DIY kit phono preamp. I had some of the addy's like the greek one.

 

well im very tempted with this one
http://www.hagtech.com/cornet.html

just need to see how hard it is to source the components in the UK

i belive evil donut started to built one of these,he may of even have finished it
ive built a couple ofthese , got one in the system at the moment it sounds better than nads built in jobbie,and on par with my origanal valve unit, however i realy would like to give this a try

 

that last page you linked to is unreadable ;/

 

components for the cornet look pretty standard,just rember the transformer needs a 240v primary,not 110v,somebody like sowter should be able to help.

 

tracking down a transformer here is proving to be awkward ;/
and i cant find info on the site to say what input voltage from an MC cart is needed, mine is 2.0mV

 

i'd guess its 5mv,if my maffs correct youll get around 320mv out for 2 mv in
