MM Phono Preamp (battery powered) - inside592 viewsThis is my second build of the Jaycar MM phono preamp kit I have completed. This time I wanted it to run from batteries. Three 9V lithium batteries in series provide 27V. A resistive network produces a virtual +/- 13.5V supply for the OPA2134 opamp chips. The cct. brd.(PCB) can very easily be wired so diodes and regulators are not required. No track (trace) cutting is required and only a few simple straps and two resistors are required. An Alps Blue Velvet pot and pure silver wire, silver solder and gold RCAs make this a quality build. Bitumanised Aluminum foil lines the lid and bottom of a sleek compact ABS plastic enclosure to form a smart looking excellent sounding MM phono preamp. See the additional images.
Chassis and plastic1019 viewsBending the plastic was a pain, i did it with a hair dryer and a LOT of patience... i don't recommend you to try to do it, it takes a lot of effort and time.

Peerless and Seas 2-way Towers in Zebrawood392 viewsThe fun part about building these speakers was the crossover design with a Zobel and Baffle Step Compensation (BSC). I wanted to try a larger driver than a 6.5 inches. I am really pleased with the sound and image. Unbelievable sound for the cost. The crossover uses open air inductors and Solen capacitors. The Veneer is Zebrawood adhesive backed. I was able to match the grain on both sides and the fronts. One coat stain and finish followed by paste wax. The speakers are drying in the garage awaiting the living room. Next is a pair of open baffle 3 way with active cross using DIY chip amps.Dec 14, 2009
