INTRODUCTION

The circuit design is referenced to Matisse Reference tube preamplifier. It supports MM input with RIAA compensation. It uses one 12AX7 and 12AT7 vacuum tube in common-cathode configurations to provide sufficient voltage gain for weak phono input signal. The signal path of this PCB layout is designed in symmetry for both channels. Dedicated power rails, ground, and signal paths, altogether are taken into considerations so  that  all are to minimize the parasitic, cross interference, and influence of RFI.
