We've seen how the RIAA filter behaves with low and very low capacitor values. (See all simulation articles here) Now let's have a look at what happens if the capacitor values are higher than the recommended ones.

This is the Muffsy Phono Preamp with capacitor values that are 2.5% higher than specifi...

I wanted to know what happened to the Muffsy RIAA compliance if the capacitors were out of spec, and started with a plausible scenario where the capacitors were 3% below their stated values.

This time, lets see what happens if the capacitor values are extremely low. Let's say they're 10% below what ...

Hot on the heals of the official Muffsy PCB, here comes another option.

Over at theslowdiyer's blog, you can now find the project files for the Muffsy Clone.

We've seen some revisions of the Muffsy Phono Preamp, from green to red,  through blue and finally the black PP-3. Now get ready for a new one, only this time you can't buy it from here.

The question of a more generic circuit board that will accept other components than the ones included in the...

The RIAA equalization added to vinyl records can and do vary wildly, and you might rightfully say that a phono stage's RIAA compliance doesn't matter too much.

It's still a standard, and it should be one of the considerations when choosing a phono stage.

The Muffsy Phono Preamp uses Wima MKS2 capacito...
