I made a little error in the calcs for the circuit I posted for balanced phono stage:
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...Precircuit.jpg

The cathode bypass capacitor needs to be 5uF to ensure response down to 20Hz.
Apologies for that, cheers, Alan
Firebottle - 08-03-2013 17:14 View Conversation

Hi Barry, after your question on whether my MM phono circuit could be adapted for full balanced design (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24035), I have been thinking of a design with 2 ECC83s. If you are still interested I will post it up for your perusal.
Cheers, Alan
