The preamplifier is the control center of your audio system. A good pre amp, such as our 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.

The virtue of simplicity

"I was in the market for a cheap pre amp as a temporary replacement for my old pre that wouldn't give me a clean CD input without a fight.I looked all over the place for a simple stereo pre amp that wasn't filled with features I didn't need at a resonable price, when I finally found this little baby. It's solidly built and works just beautifully. There is no remote control to lose so I can just get off my butt an..." Read Full Review »

Quality Control?

"I just received my AudioSource pre one/a preamp in the mail. Anxious, I hooked everything up (correctly) and immediately noticed noise coming from my speakers, which resembled speakers that had damaged voice coils. How could this be? I tried another set of speakers, and the same result occured. Not believing it could be the brand new preamp, I had one more card up my sleeve. I hooked up my Koss Pro4/AA's vi..."

"What do you want for under $150? I've read other reviews that say this preamp is colored, a joke, etc., but after getting one, I would have to disagree. I've owned McIntosh, Dynaco, Marantz, Bottlehead, Luxman, B&K, Adcom, VanAlstien, and lots of other mid to hi-fi stuff. This certainly isn't high …" Read Full Review »

"This product is a pre-amplifier. You use it to hook up sound sources, like your CD Player, Tape Deck, and Tuner to your amplifier. If you do not have a component system it may not be of much use to you. That being said, this product is a great pre-amp. It has a very low THD level that will not color …" Read Full Review »

"Audio Source Pre One/A Stereo Preamplifier does exactly what I needed; a clean source preamplified switch with a tape loop and a pair of outputs. And it does it well, with no unecessary bells and whistles. I have a Barcus-Berry Model 1821 Sonic Maximizer in the loop. The tone controls on the Aud …" Read Full Review »

"I combined the Pre One/A with the 100 amplifier for a compact, powerful system. Depth and power are outstanding; these components live up to their quality specifications. I tried other receivers with higher "power" ratings that just didn't measure up. Many lower priced components are rated at ridi …" Read Full Review »
