Muffsy Phono Preamp - Kit





  • Complete information and build instructions at http://muffsy.com
  • Save $20 when you buy the phono stage, power supply and back panel from this page instead of ordering all three products separately
  • Please note that the kit does not include an enclosure, see this page for options
The Muffsy Phono Preamp PP-3 is a complete DIY HiFi phono preamplifier kit that anyone can build.

True Hifi

Optimized for any moving magnet or high output moving coil, the Muffsy Phono Preamp offers spectacular RIAA compliance, ultra-low noise, a wonderful great sound stage, and superior detail.
Use it together with the Muffsy MC Head Amp for low output MC (LOMC) cartridges.

Everything You Need to Build a Complete Phono Stage

There are currently four products in the Muffsy line-up:
  • The Muffsy Phono Preamp
  • The Muffsy MC Head Amp
  • The Muffsy Hifi Power Supply
  • The Muffsy Back Panel
This is everything you need to get a fully functional phono stage, except an enclosure and an AC wall adapter (see here for options). The kits are complete, down to the the very last connector and the cables.
Use a B0905 aluminum enclosure (easily found on eBay), and you won't even have to drill a single hole or do any modifications.
