Hi Lew,
No, the power supply and circuit board are in the same full size chassis. The power supply has a pretty large power transformer, a big choke and it uses a 6C19PI power triode for the regulation. There are a couple of other tubes (rectifier and a voltage reference I think) in the circuit as well. I think a big part of the good sound is the power supply, which seems well done.
The circuit has a couple of JFETS for the MC input then there are three tubes in a circuit that I do not know how it works. Coupling caps are all Auricaps, which I find to be a very good cap.
I had assumed that the input was a cascode to lower noise and the output I was unsure of. The RIAA is passive.
