The Blu Eyes Rubina is derived from the professional RUBINA  PHONO STAGE. It features a smaller cabinet in shining staiNless steel BUT NO Step-up neither OUTPUT transformers. Suites to all MM anc MC cartridges with an output level above 1 milliVolt, and it can drive even power amps with at least 0,5-0,6 volt input sensitivity. If connected to a preamp the possibility to drive also cartridges with output level of 0,5 millivolt is possible instead. The reason to use a JFET circuitry instead of tubes it is due to the high gain obtainable without the use of Feed back, still keeping a very low noise. Moreover, with discrete JFET circuitry we can afford valve sound without entering the microphonicity problems. Metalized polypropilene 2% capacitors used onto the Passive RIAA circuit. Only discrete components. No ICs or SMD used at all. Please see schematics hereafter.
