...I have several circuit ideas (and some tried and true) looking for chasis. This is THE major sticking point right now between my hobby and my girfriend. I unfortanately have no metal working experience, but I have developed several ideas for chasis.Upgrades are a great way to get your feet wet, and a cheapo PAS mod would be a good reference for future activities. But really you will want to go to point to point wiring, better power supply, ect... I would recomend the RCA passive phono stage for this second step. Also I would suggest a full preamp (phono + line) and taking the power supply off board (seperate chasis). Spend some time on the power supply and overbuild it so you can play with lots of tubes. Also get a few B+ taps going, and pehaps a couple of channels. Then put the Foreplay circuit in the first chasis with your RCA phono circuit. I suspect this whole project would run in the $300 range, and would definitely sound nice.
I can certainly help you with the PAS phono stage, little money, good improvement tweaks.
