AudioSource Pre One/A Stereo Preamplifier
The preamplifier is the control center of your audio system. A good pre amp, such as AudioSource PreOne/A, offers enough inputs and outputs to run your system, and combine with an amp to give you power with little noise. The PreOne/A provides six input jacks for connecting components, which can then be selected from the front panel. Treble, bass, balance and volume can also be adjusted. Two sets of master line outputs allow for direct subwoofer or multiple amplifier connections. A tape loop is provided for outboard processors.

AudioSource Pre One/A Stereo Preamplifier Reviews
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. which is suppose to match up to this preamp, has a cutout switch, which is VERY annoying. Bare bones preamp. The regular amp. Needs a final main amp to work correctly.
It's only so so in a bedroom environment. Good for a den, but not for a bedroom or for low, soft sounds. Under moderate or loud volume this preamp/amp setup is fine. It has a auto 0n/Off switch which is suppose to engage the line input constantly, but that does not work very well.
However, if you want to power an outdoor system or secondary system at home this will do the trick. I kinda blew it on this one and can only blame myself.
50 per channel. All in all for the price it does the trick.
I bought this w/o checking to see if I had an preamp jack.I assumed I did. If you have larger speakers go for the next model up with a bit more power.
Let me caution you though make sure you read the specs. Clearly by now you know I did not, so I goofed.
If you don't need much power and only want to power smaller speakers grab this now. I made another boo boo by reading too quickly, I thought it was 100 watts per channel.uh no 100 watts total, i.e.
A remote would be nice but the last preamp I bought with a remote, twenty years ago, was a Yamaha at $1100.00. A good solid control amp with no bells or whistles. This was just what I expected.
After searching Amazon I was surprised to find a plain-jane preamp at a reasonable price. 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.
I had read the reviews and one review had stated the volume had click stops. 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. Too bad everything must have an ending and nothing is like the one we had before.
My Phase Liner preamp didn't have this issue and if I could have found another one I would have bought it. 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.
Of course after I buy it, I get an email from Amazon selling the same item at a discount, but that's another story.
