On the Diyaudio forum has anybody read the thread Mpp?  The thread Paradise Builders?  On the Group Buys Forum the thread Paradise phono stage?  The paradise phono stage design was masterminded by Joachim Gerhard.  Did anybody order the group buy on this phono stage? 
YNWaN of Audioflat said that it is the best phono stage in his system.

heard anything about it. :fishing:

I wish I could get my hands on the group buy kits and PCBs for this.

Contact diyaudio member hesener.  Ask him if there will be a group buy in the future.

Quick word on complexity of this project, it was by far my most difficult diy project to date. I found myself a tad over my diy ability without proper test equipment. I sent the completed boards to Gary Dodd for necessary scope testing, he also built the needed bipolar power supply. Definitely on the advanced diy level rating.  :wink:

I used Panasonic FC caps and PRP resistors threw out. Picked up some EMZ film caps for the RIAA that are sounding really sweet. Im convinced it would take several grand to match commercially.

On the Diyaudio Forum did anybody read the thread Masterpiece by Stefanoo.  Another great option for a phono stage is the Masterpiece. Too bad I am not a DIY guy.

Thanks for that info. The MMP/Paradise tread by Joachim Gerhard together is around 2000 post I believe.  :o
I'd love to be able to build the Paradise but it's over my head being an " Insert part here, then solder" kind of guy  :rules:

I'm envious Nick77  :drool:
