Yes, it is available now. The info is not yet up on the website. Here's some info and a picture of the main board assembled. Of course, you can add on MC input transformers for MC cartridges, too, at extra cost.
Basic Kits
Main Board Kit
All of the parts (except power supply magnetics, switches, connectors, MC input components, hardware, and an enclosure) are included, as well as detailed assembly instructions and a CD full of assembly pictures, to build a 35/41dB gain moving magnet phono preamplifier circuit
You simply need to supply 250-0-250VAC (40mA), 10-12VAC (1A) and a minimum 10H (40mA) choke to get this going. All of the other power supply components are on the Main Board and are included in the Main Board Kit.
The kit features:
· High quality Russian 6N23P tubes (pin compatible with 6DJ8/6922)
· Solid state rectification with IXYS FREDs
· Quality signal path (KimberKaps and Nichicon Muse) capacitors and power supply (Panasonic and GE) capacitors
· Quality signal path (mostly Holco and PRP) resistors
· Custom Lundahl output transformer
· PC board with carefully designed single point (“star”) grounding
Basic Main Board Kit: $449
Complete Kit
The Complete Kit contains every part for building a high-end phono preamplifier comparable to commercial units costing several times the price. In addition to the features mentioned above, the Basic Complete Kit includes:
· Complete heavy duty steel/aluminum enclosure with vibration damping material
· Power supply transformer and choke; user connectable for 115/230vAC
· AC line filtration
· Front panel power switch and blue LED power indicator
· MM (Cardas Rhodium RCA) inputs with optional MC inputs
· Unbalanced (Cardas Rhodium RCA) outputs and ground lift switch with optional Neutrik XLR balanced outputs
Basic Complete Kit: $899
