Hi I am new at this, although I know how to solder and put together circuit boards. I was inspired be the videos on this site and was thinking of making my own. My question would be I am looking for a tube build for my record player for a medium size room. I don't want something too big or expensive. I am assuming I need a preamp and an amp and am looking for some recommendations.
Thanks,
Greg
Hi. I'd recommend you watch the EAR834 clone build. Very good phono stage despite it being a Chinese clone. And then for any info on tube rolling and upgrades and to get ideas, there is a massive build thread on Lenco Heaven.
Do you want to go all the way with tubes? Then watch all the other skunkie builds. Or head over to diyaudio and take a look at the Wolverine amplifier, but needs to be built using a 3/4/5U enclosure.
Good luck with a phono build.
You won't be disappointed.
