...I started with your pcb and the ckt worked great. But my caps didn't fit, were hanging out, so I decided to redo the wiring so those w/o pcb equipment could build it.
The point to point wiring was tedious, and it took me two full evenings to wire it, where I normally could have stuffed the board in an hour. Next time for me, it's pcb only!
Enjoy the photos. I appreciate the ckt. I'd built a previous 5532 preamp that I still use and it has much fewer parts...
...I eliminated the 2 pf, just left them in the old board. But you'll see that I included them in the wiring diagram (also note that I'm giving you proper credit!)
Best wishes,
Tom Polk
