Does what it says
(4 out of 5) by Jerome Micco on Nov 3, 2006 (Cleveland OH)If you are looking for a no-frills pre-amplifier that will deliver what it promises, this is it.
No remote control, no digital read out, nothing fancy ... but it works and delivers good value for the money!

Great value!
(4 out of 5) by Bogdan Tyburczy on Jan 28, 2006 (New York City)5 stars for value and sound quality. 1 star less for lack of headphone amp. You won't be disappointed with AudioSource Pre One/A unless your audio equipment is worth good car and you listen to music in soundproof chamber. If you do, take one star off my rating.

AudioSource Pre One/A Stereo Preamplifier
(5 out of 5) by A. J. Mardinly on May 11, 2009 (Saratoga, CA)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.

SIMPLE IS GOOD
(3 out of 5) by S. Clasen on Jan 12, 2008 (St Paul, MN USA)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.

Better than a poke in the eye
(4 out of 5) by Lawrence Alvarado on Jan 5, 2008 (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...
