The high octane phono preamp

Hi everyone,

it's a real treat to see you guys are still interested to build my small little phono pre!

I'm sorry that I'm almost never online at DIYAudio - I recently became a father so free time became a very rare collectible ;)

However, reordering a batch of boards is not that big a task!

I reordered a new batch of the last board version - which were the RED BOARDS - that had a few smaller warts fixed, also had convenient mounting holes and fit into an Hammond enclosure.

Boards should be here in about 10 days or so and I hope I can offer them at the original price of 11 Euros, that is 19 Euros with shipping.

Appreciate if more experienced builders can provide some clarification on the following questions:

1. For a stereo phono preamp build, how many boards are required? (I am asking because I see folks ordering pairs)

2. How much does the approximate bill of materials cost come to?
