A project log for The Muffsy BSTRD - Class A Valve Preamp

An open source Class-A valve preamplifier and regulated PSU, complete with Eagle project files and detailed Bill of Materials

Here's the bill of materials for both the BSTRD Tube Pre and the Power Supply.

It contains part numbers from Mouser, and other sources where Mouser can't provide the parts. It's recommended that you buy more than the specified component quantities, especially for cheaper parts like resistors.

These are just suggestions, there are a lot of cheaper, more expensive, better, worse and higher or lower quality components available. There are also a lot of other places to get components, like http://elfadistrelec.com, http://digikey.com, http://tme.eu to mention a few.

Mouser Shopping Cart

All components below except LED resistor, transformers, tube sockets and tubes have been placed in this Mouser shopping cart: https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=b93f29a67d

The BOM and shopping cart were last updated 2019-04-03, ensuring that everything is in stock.

Note that the 470uF/160V electrolytic capacitor has been replaced with a 200V version, and that the 100V ceramic capacitors have been replaced with 200V models.

1 Screw terminal, 5 or 5.08 mm pin spacing 3 ports 651-1705469
1 Transformer, ≥ 15VA 6 V AC (or up to 12V) The print on the PCB
says 9-12V. but 6-9V is
better suited.
1 Transformer, ≥ 10VA 18 V AC (or up to 24V) The print on the PCB
says 21-24V, but 18-21V is
better suited.

Transformer options are not given in the shopping cart, as there is too many choices depending on input voltage and designs. However, this one should work for 115-230V AC input and both 9V (parallel) and 18V (serial) AC output:

Also note, it's better to get transformers with lower output than stated on the PCB. The reason for this is that many transformers output a higher voltage than stated due to higher than nominal mains voltage.

are you saying use the same transformer twice (buy 2); for the 15va and 10va?

Yes, you need two transformers. The one I linked to has two 9V secondary outputs, you can connect the secondaries in parallel for 9V and series for 18V:

Please check the 3 ports screw terminals when ordering, because all I received were the 2 ports terminals! I could use them after modification, but still….
