Title: Simple, clean
Product review: Great value in a pre-amp IF you don't need a phono input. Adding a phono input to this pre-amp will require an after-market stand alone unit, and they are not cheap. You can build your own, if you're an accomplished DIYer, but either way, be advised that this unit has no phono pre-amp. Otherwise, it has great sound and just the right amount of input and switches that you're likely to use in the typical home stereo set-up. You may not like that the volume control uses detentes; I find that annoying, so that's why this is 4 Stars. I use this with its sister power amp, the Amp 1. Clean, raw, 3 D, excellent sound stage and separation. Low (undetectable) noise and distortion. Transparent. This preamp has driven Magnepans with an Atlantic Audio sub, and it simply disappears. No hum, no feed back, no ground loop issues.
