Modify the Muffsy Phono Preamp and Power Supply
Since you're building the phono stage yourself, it's only reasonable that you get to change it to your exact specifications.
Here is a series of guides that will let you change all aspects of both your phono stage and power supply.
Modify Gain on the Muffsy Phono Preamp
The Muffsy Phono Phono Preamp has variable gain, so you can adjust it to suit your cartridge and amplifier.
This guide will let you change the gain options, from 36, 40, 44 and 46 dB, to values that are exactly right for you.
Modify the Input Impedance of the Muffsy Phono Preamp
A turntable cartridge depends on the phono stage input impedance to function correctly.
The Muffsy Phono Preamp has a huge range of input impedances to choose from, well below and above the industry standard of 47k ohms. You may need to change the impedances for your exact cartridge, and here's how.
Modify the Input Capacitance of the Muffsy Phono Preamp
There will be certain instances when a combination of turntable, cartridge and cabling requires additional input capacitance.
The Muffsy Phono Preamp lets you add this capacitance, and this is how to do it:
Change the Output Voltage of the Muffsy Hifi Dual Power Supply
The default output voltage of the power supply is +/- 15V. You can change the output voltage if needed, without replacing the 15-18V AC wall adapter.

Muffsy Schematics
Do you want to know what makes the Muffsy products do what they do so well? Perhaps you want to make some changes, or maybe you want to build them on a breadboard/veroboard?
Here are the full schematics for both the Muffsy Phono Preamp PP-3 and the Muffsy Hifi Dual Power Supply:
