Introduction
The circuit design is modified based on the Matisse Fantasy line stage and the design values are optimized, comprising of two 12AT7s and two 12AX7s. Two amplification stages are configured in common cathode stage with series shunt feedback. The enhancement come by the choice of component parts and PCB material, circuit layout, and power-supply considerations, all of which are to minimize the influence of RFI.
