Yngve from Norway has built a total of five Muffsy Phono Preamps by now, but this has to be his coolest project ever. When he bought a Dual 1225, he decided to give it an integrated phono stage, using the Muffsy.

The Dual 1225 was opened, the drill was brought out, and the Muffsy placement was decided.

Next is the cabling, Ynge decided to connect the tone arm cables directly to the Muffsy input.

There was even space for a power supply and a transformer inside the Dual 1225.


Yngve reports that he's very happy with his upgraded Dual. There is absolutely no noise or any distortions, so he has succeeded with his well thought out layout.
