Not sure if anyone was following this thread but here is an update since I'm wide awake at 1:45am listening to music. I decided to do some work on this phono preamp a little bit ago. My goal was to update into a smaller chassis where I went from a 17x13x4 down to a 14x10x3 unit. My other goals were better solidifying component placement, shortening signal wires and borrowing some upgrades used on the Don Sachs units. End result is still great sounding but considerably better soundstage depth, and way better chassis size to fit in my small room. The only thing I gave up for the small chassis was the center partition between power side to signal side.
Again, if anyone is contemplating a build of anything Tubes4HiFi sells, I wholeheartedly say jump in head first. These kits absolutely rule.
