We had built a new phono stage, which is based the legendary Neumann WV 2 Riaa. It is fully balanced with transformers, and we build it with Vacuumsmelze (dated 1977) MC transformers 1:20. We used small akkus like there are in the Neumann. The tubes are Telefunken EF804s and E82CC. The pot is NOBLE NOS the PSU is a brand new design, and much better than our previous was, and 10x better than neumann. I promise, it is really an audio note killer!
