Simple, clean June 5, 2010 Thomas R. Amnotte 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.

I bought this cheap little preamp after a year of debate. I could not get my Hafler DH-110 pre-amp repaired. The pots and switches were just oxidized too much. I was using it to drive an old but excellent pair of Acoustat electrostatics through a Richter scale cross-over and a pair of Hafler MOSFET amps-DH-220 for bass. XL-280 for treble. I did not want to buy a real expensive pre-amp for a variety of reasons, but I did not want to buy a cheap piece of junk. Well, this is no cheap piece of junk, just inexpensive. The sound just knocks my socks off, and knocks the socks off everybody who hears it.
Works as designed. April 25, 2009 J.A. Brony J. A. Brony here.
Pre-Amp from Audiosource is a great device. Works as designed. I do hear a slight tick when changing inputs but not a deal breaker.
ANTONLINE was fine to deal with.

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.
AudioSource PreOne/A August 1, 2008 Norman L. Durel (New Orleans, La) 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.
