Great sounding pre-amp and terrific beginner project in one!
For Muffsy Phono Preamp - Kit
I bought this as a project to get me back into dabbling with electronics after 3 decades of computing. To successfully complete a fully functional phono pre-amp was good fun, and it was satisfying to see my soldering improve as I went along. Even more fun, however, was the learning that came with the project, especially with power. One thing I didn't expect was having to wrangle with ground loops, which turned out to be dodgy RCA cables and a very noisy Raspberry Pi adapter, and NOTHING to do with the Muffsy preamp!
I did resort to seeking help from skrodahl, and the replies were very prompt, very patient and extremely detailed. I could not have asked for more.
I am very pleased with every aspect of this preamp, from the packaging (all present and correct, and impeccably marked) and the quality of the parts, to the instructions and, of course, the finished product.
Lastly, if anyone is concerned about this as a beginner, don't be. Watch the youtube clips if you are uncertain before starting, and then take it steady.
Thank you:)
