Very clean pre-amp

by aCiD

Pros: Sound quality, build quality, connectability
Cons: No phono preamp, jumpy motordrive volume

This is the first standalone pre-amp I've ever owned, so I lack any direct comparisons, but I'll do my best.

This is a basic, no frills, focused on sound quality pre-amp. All stereo, no internal DACs, no internal phono pre-amp, motordrive volume control, simple analog bass and treble controls, with a bypass button.

I have this matched to a P500, powering a pair of Wharfedale Pi-40 speakers, and it does fabulous job in being completely transparent, and as such there isn't much else to say about it's performance! As it should be.

Only little annoying aspect is when adjusting the volume using the remote, the motor drive control will always go a bit further than you intended it to.
