So, got done putting together this fine phono stage!  Pass Xono.  Bought the board pre-populated, put in WIMA coupling caps and in a case!  MM/MC input, variable load, XLR and RCA output!  It's all there!  Note, still tweaking therefore some of the blue protective film is still on the cases.

UPDATE!  Done with the case for now, I think..
Added Copper cover and cover bottom plate.  Think copper, only 5mil, but good enough....Power Supply is still the same...

That is cool!  Where did you get the copper sheets?

Thanks Russ,
I got it from Basic Copper.  They have all sorts of thickness.  I chose the most economical and to that extend, flexibile and so forth.  If I had to do it over again, I would get the 10 Mil copper sheets.

I do have some of the 5 mil left that I can send you if you want to play around with it.  They are 12x6 inch sheets.  If you want them, it would be nice if I can sell you some, at cost.

Tuan:

  How much do you think this would cost if you were to build one for a cash paying customer?

Sweet!  But I have a disagreement.  Such a nice job of mounting the boards, neat and professional looking wiring loom, awesome plexi case, then cover it all up with some cheap copper plate?  I know the sensible electrical reasons for this, but a real shame to hide that nice work.  Good job anyway though, how does it sound?

I know, I've received a couple of comments on the copper cover...I may have to remove it  :duh:, but it's all looks...some reason, I like the "shine" of it.  Perhaps it's just a "personal" cosmetic thing.  The thing does sound very good and there's not hint of hum or noise, except for the "hiss" at full throttle.
