DIY head amp


Has anyone built any one of the head amps designed by Marshall Leach as found on : http://users.ece.gatech.edu/mleach/headamp/ ? What do you think about the Common-Base circuit? I'd be using this to boost my Dynavector 17D2 MkII. I'm interested in your thoughts.

I just wonder how you're going to assemble the unit (circuit board or point-to-point wireing) and what power supply you're going to use (it's important) or just 9V battery is you think enough?
Point-to-point just as the circuit is layed out including a 9 volt battery. I saw the Markof version on eBay and it used 2 AAA batteries.
Anyone know if you can buy one of these things if you are not a diy kinda guy? Nothing on ebay.
