Default why won't this work?

**BZZZZZZZTTTT!

You need RIAA equalisation for a phono preamp. You also don't mention
whether you are using a moving magnet, or a moving coil (low output) phono
cartridge. MC carts require further amplification, as well as RIAA
equalisation.

I specifically
wanted a high end, solid state unit, since so much of my signal chain
is already tube, I wanted one piece with the crispness and massive
headroom that only MOSFETs can deliver...and got it in spades.


**What a load of ********. MOSFETs are not specifically capabloe of higher
headroom than any other output device. Headroom is, OTOH, directly related
to the regulation of the power supply. Well regulated power supply = low
headroom and poorly regulated power supply = high headroom.

BTW: Compare your fancy, shiny new MOSFET amp to a Phase Linear 700b (BJT)
sometime. Be prepared to be surprised.
