My other vinyl preamp setup. AliExpress clones of a Shure M65 and a tube input stage, but with 1960s NOS American tubes installed. Unbal to bal by transformer into a Monoprice amp. Smithsonian vinyl on a DJ turntable. #vinyl #turntable #phonopreamp #tubeamp #spinningrecords

Kludgy way to fix an EAR834 clone phono preamp that was shipped with a transformer that output too low 6.3v and 28v rails. Experts will probably say this repair is improper but I just wanted the 12AX7s to light up and it to work. #vinyl #phonopreamp #tubeamp #electronicsrepair
