    Default Wanted: cheap but interesting active pre, decent gain a must

    Needed for an experiment in my study system - a cheap but interesting active pre, decent gain a must, valves would be a big bonus, phono stage likewise but neither essential.

    Budget probably £250-ish?

    Hi Tom, I've got a 4 valve single input preamp with about 15dB gain, compact silver case with volume control.

    You can try it out if you wish, I'd be looking for £50 for it.

    Hello Alan. Tom has told me that you have a prototype preamp for his Tawan 20W A class amplier:

    Can you describe what type of active preamp from Firebottle you are using with LPaudio 0-L1 20W A class amp? I'm also interested if solution is sounding good?
    You'll need to ask Alan, the one he sent to me looks like a prototype rather than a finished product.
    End of quote.

    Can you send me what type of preamp it is and if it is available. I want to use same combination as Tom for my Tannoy Turnberry SE speakers. Thanks.

    Hi Alan
    I need a compact pre amp for my headphone set up that I keep under my bed, if this one's not suitable for Tom, or you have another one sitting around, I'd be very interested please. I do like low gain though as I use late at night and don't like being close to zero with any associated channel imbalance.
    Thanks, Lawrence

    Hi Ales, this isn't something that I manufacture, sorry.

    It was a trial with a Chinese buffer board that was modified with a couple of sub-miniature valves that I happened to have.

    Are you producing any valve preamp?
