This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.

[@geirendre]

9:07 MM = Moving Magnet, as opposed to MC (Moving Coil)
Denotes what part is moving inside the phono cardtridge to produce a voltage.

[@pileofstuff]

Of course! Thank you.
Why didn't I remember that?

[@eDoc2020]

Also as opposed to the ceramic pickup found in many older and cheaper turntables.

[@snakezdewiggle6084]

You know, I'm about One Monday away from taking up drinking.
Cool vid, cheerz.

[@kdt85]

Is this channel the result of you drunk shopping from AliExpress and trying to remember what you've ordered weeks later 😆 we've all been there

[@pileofstuff]

I can neither confirm or deny that might be a factor...

[@SidneyCritic]

"Freedom units", ie, based on the Imperial system where you are subservient to the King's whims, ie, "Unfreedom units" - lol -.

[@shagreobe]

I like kits as well. relaxing even if they are nothing useful sometimes

[@Taliesen.]

Your earlier video introduced me to Universal Solder. I bought that lead bender and their "Broken code lock" educational kit. Just finished the kit yesterday, solving the (deliberate) problems and getting it working. Fun/educational. I wish they had more kits like that one.

[@CTCTraining1]

At this rate you will need a kit channel ... and that may be a good thing. Some kits are so poorly documented it would be worth watching someone approaching the same build ... I guess good titles / search terms will be key. Good luck 😀👍

[@SymbolTech21]

Nice preamplifier. So it's time to build a full hi-fi system.

[@onecircuit-as]

Kits galore! Happy days. 😀👍

[@fumthings]

the only thing you forgot to mention about the ruler, it looks like a dip ic package

[@Multi-Skill-Bill]

Nice haul!
That will keep ya busy for a bit!

[@pileofstuff]

I hope so!

[@tiagoferreira086]

I never knew about that equalization specs on phono "things", that's actually quite clever, it must cut off a big part of the "hiss" when a record is played i guess. On the other hand i think many youngsters doesn't have a clue at all what a vinil record is and how it sounds... lol (btw im 37)

[@frankowalker4662]

That's a good price for a Phono pre-amp.
The infrared audio kit looks interesting.

[@iowahank1]

Irish stout. Good choice for the day after St. Paddy's Day.

[@pileofstuff]

It's a common choice for me in the weeks (and months) before and after ST Paddy's day.
1/8 of my ancestors would be pleased.

[@shagreobe]

Can't beat a nice pint of Guinness though

[@bigron761]

@@pileofstuffwas shocked by the sudden announcement of Stone Angel's demise. They made some really nice beer.

[@pileofstuff]

@@bigron761I really was. They're the closest brewery t my home.
Fortunately, I was able to stock up when I heard they were closing.
I hope I can help keep the rest of them going!

[@kdt85]

Gridfinity is crazy expensive and time consuming using magnets, use blue tack if you plan on moving things around very often!

[@pileofstuff]

At this point, I'm just experimenting with the system to see if it fits my workflow.

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

anoter great haul, you must be busting at the seams!

[@pileofstuff]

The pile is growing taller and a bit more unstable.
I probably ought to do another shop organization project soon...

[@AJB2K3]

I've got 2 of those water flowing Larson scanner kins on my bench in front of me

[@pileofstuff]

It's a classic circuit - and a lot of fun to play with.

[@retireeelectronics2649]

Kits kits and more kits (-:

[@ronm6585]

Thank you.

[@loveminis31]

So you got some great items for the channel.

[@iceberg789]

Kits fest !
