  • Sowter MC input transformer
  • 2 stage 6C45PI valve with passive RIAA
  • Silver mica Riaa caps, Mundorf coupling caps
  • Kiwame resistiors excpet RIAA which are 0.5% metal films
  • Transformer Volume Control, 23 steps, which makes a nice balanced line stage too if you don’t need a lot of gain there.
  • Shunt regulation followed by CCS valve anode loads (overkill perhaps, but it’s damn quiet)

Power amp:

  • WJA Electron 6C45PI / 2A3-40 SET amp (about 6-7 watts a channel)
    • see power amp page…
  • Hypex class D bass amps with miniDSP equalization operating from  16 Hz to 60Hz

  • DIY Open baffles with 2 x 300mm sub woofers powered by miniDSP and Hypex amps

Digital:

  • I made a silent PC running on Ubuntu and bought 1 of those cheap 196Khz 24bit DAcs to play with.. Promising.. work in progres

Scheu based turntable with Kuzma arm and Shelter 7000 cartridge.

TVC is a wiring nightmare, but worth the effort

Music

About 1300 lps.  Approximately 1000 Rock – modern stuff, 150 classical, 120 Jazz and Blues and 60 or so World music.  Although that doesn’t really adequately describe the genres…  I have to catogorize them somehow otherwise it’s hard to find them!
