Other Notes: 

"I built this phono stage because Roy Mottram was after me to try it because I loved the SP14 line stage that is the basis for my custom preamps.  I built this my way with my parts choices including Russian KBG oil caps on the outputs, Takman carbon film resistors in key spots, just like in the custom line stages I build.  Also a big film cap for the last filter after the tube rectifier and Canare shielded OFC mic cable for the runs to the jacks.  This is Roy’s best phono preamp and he sells it for $895 assembled with basic tubes.  It has about 2.5 mV input sensitivity and multiple DIP switches that allow you to toggle in various resistor and capacitor loadings.  My version is built with premium parts and great output capacitors and very good wire.  So how does it sound?  Well, this thing is every bit as much of a giant killer as my SP14 line stage.  Same reasons, great design with fully regulated and separate high voltage and DC filament supplies for each channel.  The stereo separation and black background are pretty incredible.  " - Don Sachs
