Echoplex EP-3 Pre Amp / Aion Ares

 Aions Ares project which is based on Echoplex EP-3 Pre Amp which includes an onboard voltage doubler for more headroom. Schematic and info on J FET selection avaiable HERE.

'Note that there is two ground connections on the board, the purpose is to reduce any potential noise from the charge pump.  Those wires can be connected to any off board ground points like your audio jacks and DC jack. I also replaced the Drain resistors with trimmers for fine tune the bias.

  1. Any reason for changing the Aion IC choice of 1054 to the currently listed?

    1. Mainly because of the price point and availability.If you got legit 7660S it will perform the same as a LT1054.

  2. Any chance we have a Chase Tone Secret Preamp project? It would be perfect to be able to use those big capacitors.
