Hello, All,
I'm new to the site and like to build my audio gear when I can: I get more satisfaction that way. My latest build is a tube-and-SS phono pre-amp where I tried to add a bunch of tubes. I did this by using six voltage-regulator tubes fed by solid-state constant-current sources. The signal paths have two triodes for amplification and a single triode as a cathode follower. I'm using the pre-amp with a turntable that is a combination of a platter-and-bearing kit with an air-bearing tonearm kit from the south. The platter is belt-driven by a separate motor unit with SS controller. I'm in the central east cost and hope to learn from the users here.
