Dear all, the waiting is over - we are now proceeding to make the Paradise Phono stage available to you all. This design has been masterminded by Joachim Gerhard, who thinks it's not exactly one of his lesser designs:

The circuit design and simulation was done by MiiB, the shunt regulators were designed by FdW, and yours truly has done the layout.
We went through two rounds of betabuilding to come up with something that should reliably power up and work well.
The schematics, BOM and stuffing guide are attached. These include all the latest bells and whistles. This design really is the R2 version from Joachim's MPP thread, I just called it R3 to make clear it has all the little bug fixes, but it is essentially the same design as R2.
What you will get: Two PCBs (size is 120mm * 214mm), red colour, silver finish with white component print, PLUS two heatsinks and the mounting clips. The material will come with an assembly guide that explains the little tricks. The cost is 58 euros plus shipping (5 euro within europe but may be more elsewhere), my preference is paypal.
I intend to keep this going for 2-3 weeks before I will move forward with the ordering. Please just enter your name below, I will contact you separately then and try to find out what your individual shipping cost may be, so there are no surprises.
any questions just PM me .....
