4 out of 5 stars Audiosource preone/A preamplifier   August 11, 2008
Gary L. Stowe (Mobile;Alabama)
This is a great product if you want to control several componets of your stereo system. Works really good with the Audiosource Stereo Grafic Equalizer. Worth the money.

Good Pre-Amp over-all. Bare bones preamp. Needs a final main amp to work correctly. Good for a den, but not for a bedroom or for low, soft sounds. The regular amp. which is suppose to match up to this preamp, has a cutout switch, which is VERY annoying. It has a auto 0n/Off switch which is suppose to engage the line input constantly, but that does not work very well. Under moderate or loud volume this preamp/amp setup is fine. It's only so so in a bedroom environment.

I bought this w/o checking to see if I had an preamp jack...I assumed I did. Clearly by now you know I did not, so I goofed. However, if you want to power an outdoor system or secondary system at home this will do the trick. Let me caution you though make sure you read the specs. I made another boo boo by reading too quickly, I thought it was 100 watts per channel...uh no 100 watts total, i.e. 50 per channel. I kinda blew it on this one and can only blame myself. If you don't need much power and only want to power smaller speakers grab this now. If you have larger speakers go for the next model up with a bit more power. All in all for the price it does the trick.


3 out of 5 stars SIMPLE IS GOOD   January 13, 2008

This was just what I expected. A good solid control amp with no bells or whistles. A remote would be nice but the last preamp I bought with a remote, twenty years ago, was a Yamaha at $1100.00.


4 out of 5 stars Better than a poke in the eye   January 5, 2008
Lawrence Alvarado (Pico Rivera, Ca USA)
I needed a preamp for what is left of my componet system. Yes I'm still playing cassette tapes and if my reel to reel hadn't died, I would be using that too. After searching Amazon I was surprised to find a plain-jane preamp at a reasonable price. Of course after I buy it, I get an email from Amazon selling the same item at a discount, but that's another story. I had read the reviews and one review had stated the volume had click stops. I didn't think that would be a problem or issue at the time, but it is the only complaint I have with this unit. When I move the volume on the preamp past 3 clicks it is too loud for my listen pleasure (too loud, too old?).I leave the preamp at the 2nd click and have to adjust my amp input in order to play any source at a comfortable listen level. My Phase Liner preamp didn't have this issue and if I could have found another one I would have bought it. Too bad everything must have an ending and nothing is like the one we had before...
