Hello there.
So I've been thinking about building a pre amplifier in a Hifi-2000 chassis I have laying around for driving a power amplifier (BJT based symasym clone thingy) that I am also building, this will be for use when I eventually get a bigger place and can set my speakers up.
I want it to have two inputs, one with a phono stage for my turntable and one for my DAC. I am thinking of employing the 'Le Paciffic' single ended phono stage, the Pass B1 buffer and the Lightsp^H^H buffer that must not be referred to by that name.
So something like phono-stage -> three pole switch -> B1 -> attenuator.
This is the schematic for the phono stage, as you can see it uses much the same topology as the B1.
I will only use the MM part as I do not have an MC cartridge.
Now the B1 is specified at 18V supply, but I can't see why it could not be run on 24V, alternatively I could always use three regulators, one giving 24V for the phono stage, one giving 18V for the B1 and one giving 5V for the attenuator. The 5V will just be a 7805 fed via a resistor from the incoming DC feed (External DC supply at something like 26-30V, by means of a transformer and CRC filter)
So how to build the power supply?
I want to keep this rather simple so was thinking of using an LM317 followed by a simple noise shunt kind of like Fig. 1 one this page: http://www.wenzel.com/documents/finesse.html
As I said either using two of them at different voltages or running both the B1 and the phono stage at 24V.
I'm looking for suggestions as to how I might better implement this, without making the circuit overly complicated as it will be implemented on strip board.
I'm open to buying a commercial regulator if it is not too expensive, obviously this would only make sense if the performance was significantly better than the LM317 with the noise shunt idea.
I guess perhaps using a diode in series with a resistor to feed the 7805 might be considered good practice to prevent that regulator polluting the main feed rail?
