Are these testers or final versions? Final versions mate. Went for green deliberately.

Jesus, they're big stacked film caps. Yes they are, but they measure absolutely perfectly. Spot on for what we have planned.

I bet it has a certain “openness” to the sound…
Must be satisfying to get the Proto fired up for the first time.

It's great to see one now finished. I've followed the BB phonostage development and always hoped for a "final" version.

There are a couple of amendments being laid into a new PCB, so these two of ours will be officially prototypes.

Not much by way of change, just refinements.
Blow me down this is good. We have been listening to vinyl all evening, which is a rarity. I know it's a cliche but I have been hearing more detail in oft played records.
Whoo hoo!

I know it's a cliche but I have been hearing more detail in oft played records. Whoo hoo! Yeah, there was a lot of the BB3 circuit that was very good, so it makes no sense to throw that out just for the sake of it. For instance, the original TripleStack©️circuit used for the first stage of the BB3 has been improved and modified. The Power supply is also slightly redesigned and optimised for improved PSRR. Noise is down, SNR is up, distortion is down, Channel separation is way up...... You get the idea. 😉

This is the enclosure that will become the BBu. "SILVER!" I hear you cry! Don't worry, I think I've found a black enclosure too.

Obviously Alan isn't keen on silver cases either Patience is a virtue Bigman, pleased your happy Alan.

You mean because I have gone for the 'air' variety?
My proto case is silver but a little taller to enable orientation optimisation.

I am sure the finished version will be more polished. I look forward to the time I get an opportunity to hear one.
