[quote user="guy sergeant"]I used to work for a valve amp making company and we had a little 2 stage phono amp that sounded far better than the 834 with passive eq, no feedback etc. It also cost less than the EAR.I can send you the schematic if you w...

Brian,
I sourced the air caps from here:

... I am working on a problem of a permanent attachment of those caps into my woman. I hope she will “sound better” after that… :-(

Ahoy there Thorsten, you took your time getting here!
Yes, obeissance in the general direction of Huntingdon. Ol' TdeP certainly made a Grand Master move with the 834. Building with the air variables will allow tuning for the 102 very nicely too.

My ultimate intention is to use the "DMAF" as the dedicated equalizer for the 102 so maybe I will just build it as a single channel from the word go and then build a stereo high Gm unit for my 103R (and future cart acquisitions).

The 834P was a revelation for me, being a circuit that I would have dismissed as "old hat" (Feedback? 12AX7 cathode follower? Do me a favour!). I like it so much that I intend to build an "enhanced" copy a la Thorsten/Carsten for reference (and enjoy...

Something to look forward to in '05 then? :)
Got to do something about mine, the borrowed 834P goes back the end of January...

Romy, how are things progressing with this? Is it all done and dusted yet?
Can you compare and contrast the sonic differences between this high Gm contrivance and your previous EAR 834 variant?
All the World is waiting for the sunrise....

Oh yes! I have always loved "Alexandr Nevsky" since I watched Eisenstein's film on BBC TV when I was a youngster and there are quite a few invoking passages in this Cantata. I must try and find this version, I found it spellbinding.
Thank you Romy.

Hmm, I get "can't find specified path" from Media Player. How frustrating.
Romy, is this performance on record or CD?
Brian...

Hmm, I see Golovanov died the same year as both the composer and the Vozhd....
Not on the same day I trust.

There must be Melodiyas.....lots of them.

Are there ANY recorded performances? I would love to hear this.
There was a rare performance of his Op 74 Cantata at the BBC Proms 3 or 4 years ago which, alas, has not been issued though an off-air recording did appear briefly on Napster.

When I was in discussion with Thorsten I actually had the low gm Telefunken EF 804S in mind. This was a valve specially developed for their studio microphone preamplifiers, designed to have minimum self noise so probably the best thermionic amplifyin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Brain, C’mon, I was kidding about the “Electron Intensification Interface”! [/quote]
Ah, really? So you were just winding us up! Now there's a surprise ;o)
I was amassing a nice little stockpile of americum-241 too...

Hello Romy
I am in a similar situation although not as far along as you since my "phonocorrector" experiments are yet to start. I in fact have the same valve types lined up so when I discovered your site yesterday there was a strong assonance!

Hello Romy
Looks like you may be about to set us off salvaging smoke alarms (like that boy scout a few years back) ;o)
An idea that I haven't seen explored yet for low level stages is the use of Peltier Effect heat pumps to cool the valves. As ...
