Low Voltage MM Phono Preamp: A Balanced tweaking
A small arrangment on the Battery Powered MM Phono Preamp PCB can transform this single-ended unit in a balanced one with a further improvement of technical and sonical performances. Additive requirements for the buildind are 2 SOT1 units and 2 E188CC-SQ double-triodes.
Fig. 1 shows the simulated preamp. This schematic includes also an Inverse RIIA network used for the RIIA accuracy monitoring.
