Tm I ma glad that your “Manhattan project” is over as I was a little scared….

Well, I always thought that I have an open mind and I would not mind to try it. Unfortunately I do not do SS as I afraid of it electrically…

This phonostage of yours, is it available only as a schismatic or is it possible trying this thing? Also, it looks like the "Analogue Addicts Phono Stage" has 40dB gain. It is very insufficient and it should be 70dB at least to handle .2mV cartridges. (I would like to have more all the way up to 80dB ). I know, I know you would suggest getting extra 25dB out of a transformer but it would defeat the purpose of the “second phonostage”. The entire idea of the “second phonostage” is that it should not be real-estate demanding and relatively cheap. If I need to run the cables into a good transformer (that would cost much more and is much larger then the entire “second phonostage” then why do I need a “second phonostage”. I might use with the same sasses a second “first phonostage”.

In the end my comment that any IC-base RIAA corrector should cost $30 was more allegorical then actual. I feel that even $400 Retail is a reason price for a good IC-base RIAA corrector. ($400 Retail means the sub $50 of cost). What I was against in my comment “should cost $30, with no expiations” was that people should not try to sell the IC-base RIAA correctors for $7K-$8K….
