About the Audio TU-8500

The Elekit TU-8500 is a versatile DIY preamplifier kit that includes a phono equalizer stage. It supports both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges with switchable gain settings. The phono stage uses two low-noise OPAMPS (NJM2068DD), which are socket-mounted for easy replacement. The line amp stage utilizes two 12AU7 (ECC82) tubes, offering switchable gain options of approximately 1x to 3x. The kit includes a low flux leakage R-core transformer and a FET ripple filter to minimize hum and background noise. It is powered by a DC supply for the tubes, ensuring quiet operation. The TU-8500 supports four different AC input voltages (100V, 115V, 200V, and 230V), making it suitable for use worldwide.
