J1 RCA audio input socket Comments:
In recent years, following CD's introduction, vinyl recordings are almost disappeared. Nevertheless, a phono preamplifier is still useful for listening old vinyl discs from a well preserved collection. This simple but efficient circuit devised for cheap moving-magnet cartridges, can be used in connection with both audio power amplifiers shown in preceding pages, featuring low noise, good RIAA frequency response curve, low distortion and good high frequency transients behaviour due to passive equalization in the 1 to 20KHz range. Transistors and associated components provide ± 18V supply to the op-amp, improving headroom and maximum output voltage. Notes:
R2, R3, R4, R7, R8, C4 & C5 should be low tolerance types.
Schematic shows left channel and power supply.
For stereo operation R1, R2, R3, R4, R7, R8; J1; C1, C4 & C5 must be doubled.
Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections. Technical data:
