Package Include
1. 12AX7 MM/MC Phono Tube Preamplifier PCB ref VTL (Stereo)
2. Assembly Manual
INTRODUCTION
The circuit design is referenced to VTL phono tube preamplifier. It support both MM or MC phono input with RIAA compensation. It uses four 12AX7 vacuum tube in serial common-cathode configurations and buffer stage to provide sufficient voltage gain for weak phono input signal. The input impedance can be changed by the DIP switch. The signal paths of this PCB layout is designed in symmetry for both channels. Dedicated power rails, ground, and signal paths, althogether are taken into considerations so that all are to minimize the parasitics, cross interference, and influence of RFI.
