BUGLE3 Phonostage
3
Description
Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the highest performance-per-dollar
audiophile products available! The Bugle3 was designed to be a simple yet flexible
phonostage capable of achieving very good sound quality comparable to far more
costly units. It is a third-generation circuit topology that uses low noise audio
opamps implementing passive split equalization filters and to provide a low output
impedance. Both Gain and Loading are adjustable using tiny switches.

Operation
Connect a cable between output jacks and your audio system. Attach the turntable
ground wire to the grounding post and connect the turntable RCA output plugs into
the Bugle3 input jacks. Plug in the power supply. Enjoy!
The Bugle3 must get an Earth ground from the linestage or receiver via the
connecting cables; otherwise there will be hum. If the inputs to the linestage are
floating, then add an extra ground wire to the Bugle3.
