  I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for here.

  The phono boards come with all of the parts. Additonally you will need a power supply...I recommend one of our PS4s per channel for best results. And then the remaining items like a power cord, power switch, rca jacks, ground terminal, etc.

  Does this answer your question?

    Hi Ron. You know what? I just got back from 10 days with my wife's parents for the holidays (hot button) and am running through the emails and web pages and stuff, remembering the post I sort of flopped onto your lap - and I read it and I am not even sure I know what I would have been asking. I know it was late, and I was finishing up some take home tests for the semester, and I most likely was not thinking about what I was doing while I typed a quick message.

    So here is what I am asking:

    (and thank you for replying, and I hope you had a good Christmas and new year)

    I have a passive preamp that I am working with at the moment. Actually, a Fi X integrated. And I am going to use a new record player with it - so I need a good (and relatively straightforward) phono preamp to use with a Rega Elys MM.

    So, the parts come together, and I would need a switch, chassis, plugs, and the transformer. A while back I was at a friend's (Tom Ronan) and he showed me a small circuit board with mini tube sockets and a bunch of little parts pointing up from all over, and said it was relatively cheap and needed a transformer in order to be used with a good MM. I wonder if it was the same thing you are talking about.

    Anyway, what will all of these things together cost? And is it pretty easy to build - I mean, I have messed aroung with the Fi X a little (new connectors and I turned the output tube sockets 45 degrees like Don told me, as I use 45 triodes [at least for a little while]), so I can solder and stuff. But this would be my first venture of actually building something. I have no fear, as long as such things are possible and ethical.

    I am really excited to play records again on SETs and Lowthers.

    Thanks

    Shane

      Just go through our catalog and decide what you want to spend. I have various quality and prices on things like rca jacks, power cords etc. so only you can really make the decision for some of these items. The phonostage and PS4 are also listed and priced in the catalog with a few upgrade options.

      I can supply everything but a box to put it into. Try Sescom for this. www.sescom.com. They have a nice assortment of affordable chassis boxes.

      I can provide a detailed assembly manual for the project so this should give you some good guidance for completing the job.

      And I'm available to answer your questions once you have started the project.

      Ron
