Another idea pops up in my head. The Dyna pas 3x in so-so shape goes for about 125$ I think on the bay. What; and I am speculating here; but what if someone were to completely refurbish just the phono section in one; at minimal cost. Using one of the many and varied designs for those pre-amps on the net; or even using a Dyna SCA 35; just the phono stage to save money. The PC boards for the phono stage are 35$ from Sheldon. Rebuild the PC and go out through the tape monitor. Save money on not re-doing the line stage; just doing minimal upgrades to the PS....Ahhh; maybe not.
But it is a thought. Eventually to complete the pre-amp which regardless of what people say is a very competent and pleasant sounding unit when properly tuned.
Total cost for the phono stage would come in under 150$ and would certainly hold it's value in the market. MHO; it sure beats the Bottlehead combo at three times the price or more.
Ohh; I still owe you the op-amp circuit. Can you E-Mail me?
