Now happy with tthe way this is turning out, so time to post a few pics. WD Phono 3 clone but with a twist. I do own a Pre 3 and the PSU, but for the phono stage I decided to try out an inverter supply. The unit will be powered by an external laptop PSU outputting 19V. I done something similar with a guitar pedal and the results were very good and with very little noise floor. If it all goes to pot not too much of an issue as I can just use the WD PSU.

The PCBs are prototyping boards that I bought from valvewizard.co.uk a while back. These are no longer available, which is a shame as they are really good.

The boards are bolted to the Alu strips that are held to the chassis by screws. What I do need to get some longer bolts so I can change the height of the boards so that the valves poke out further through the top.

Just needs a bit of tidying up and also waiting for some 8.2nF caps to arrive so I can get those in and wire it all up. Also need to lash up a MC step up amp so I can test.
