Hi! A friend of mine has asked if I would be able to build him a tube phono preamp. I've built several stompboxes as well as a Dumble ODS clone, so I'm quite comfortable with the build but I was hoping to get some discussion going as to what might be a good circuit to use. My friend wants to spend 200-300, which seems fairly reasonable (at very least if not factoring in labor) provided I don't get too fancy with the enclosure. I've gotten through most of what I've been able to search on this forum and have done some searching elsewhere, but I feel like a lot of the info out there is tainted by audiophoolery and I trust this board a lot more than I trust the hi-fi crowd.
The only constraints for the build are that it not cost more than $300 and that it use only tubes in the signal path, with said tubes running at proper high voltages.
