Home > Consumer Reviews > AudioSource Pre One/A Stereo Preamplifier

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 via a y-connector out of one set of preamp outs on the back of the AudioSource preamp. To make a long story longer, after finishing this review, I'm shipping this lemon back! BOO- AudioSource! P.S.- I reluctantly gave this item 1 star, but I guess that's where the scale starts!

I bought this w/o checking to see if I had an preamp jack...I assumed I did. Clearly by now you know I did not, so I goofed. However, if you want to power an outdoor system or secondary system at home this will do the trick. Let me caution you though make sure you read the specs. I made another boo boo by reading too quickly, I thought it was 100 watts per channel...uh no 100 watts total, i.e. 50 per channel. I kinda blew it on this one and can only blame myself. If you don't need much power and only want to power smaller speakers grab this now. If you have larger speakers go for the next model up with a bit more power. All in all for the price it does the trick.

I bought this product, hooked it up and i still dont know what it is.
