I've been working on the parts list for this phono preamp project. There are 3 boards:

* The preamp itself
* The rumble filter (a high pass filter)
* The power supply

Can't wait to finish it and order everything.

This doesn't include whatever cases I decide to put them all in.

There's an inexpensive build project I've been meaning to work on for some time. It's an RIAA phono stage called the ESP 06. A friend of mine made up some boards and offered me a set, and how could I say no? My stereo preamp has a good photo stage but this will be fun to play with. Now I just have to find where I put the PCB's.

Finally got my USB-C to stereo jack connector and connected Mom's sound system. Now playing Moonface by Marc Romboy with amazing #Apple #Lossless fidelity through my matching #Hafler #amp and #preamp (DH220† and DH110) and Monster Cable connected Time Windows. Deep bass and treble, no clipping even at volume; like being there. The thump beats your heart for you. Who says chunky discrete transistors weren't worth it (or Apple Lossless Audio)? Dates from the early 80s. Now playing songs by people not yet born when the equipment was manufactured (in some cases not even their parents).
