My own build of the BB3 valve phono stage is up for sale. A unique two box version.

This is a full MC/MM build with exposed valves on top, as good as it gets.

The individual high and low voltage transformers are housed in a separate box with on/off switch on top.

This version includes a power up mute circuit that silences the output while the valves stabilise.

MM input impedance is 47K with 41dB gain
Output impedance is 270 ohm.

Can be seen and heard at chez Firebottle, near Dudley.

I guess there’s a number 4 on the way, I’m gonna think about this, I’ll be in touch.

There is no number 4 on the way, but the rather more expensive “Ultime” that Alan already owns.
I am more than happy with my BB3, and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.
