INTRODUCTION

The circuit design is referenced to the Conrad John and the values are adjusted and optimized. The input stage uses 12AX7in common cathode, whereas the output stage uses 12AT7.  The signal paths of this PCB layout are designed in symmetry for both channels. Dedicated power rails, ground, and signal paths, altogether are taken into design considerations so that all are to minimize the parasitic, cross interference, and influence of RFI.
