K&K phono stage


Hi everybody,

Does anybody have any experience with the K&K phono stage in its different variations. Seems like it has a lot going for the price albeit one has to build the thing.

I have also spotted the Audio Note Phono Stage in kit version that likewise seems interesting.

Thanks for any comments/views.

Thank you, both. Somehow I completely missed that specification on the web site.

A question for you kit builders: can you recommend an appropriate soldering station for a project such as the K&K kit?
The MC version of the K&K does not normally allow for adjustable loading, is that correct?

I guess I am confused about the MC loading thing -- if you have an input transformer, such as in the EAR and the K&K, does loading at different resistance values become unnecessary?
