Lock down / work from home during last year due to COVID 19 had its own downsides, but on the positive side it gave time for people like me to go back to old hobbies.

Among audio picked up both digital and analog. Will focus on analog in this thread so picked up my old Gararrd 401/SP25MKIV/Sanyo/ Unity/Amstard/Toshiba 3150/Sharp and restored all their turntables, imported few cartridges, washed all the vinyls and wallah back to business.

Thus I decided not to reinvent the wheel and pickup some of the more affordable and good designs. Bought a bugle 2, found about RJM emerald.

Here is RJM Emerald designed by Richard of RJM audio, I just tweaked the PCB to SMD.
