I use my edison with meridian 502 pre
I use my edison12 with a Meridian 502 pre with great results through linn Kan speakers....Don't know if you need a passive pre..??Nothing oddball with this one!
This is from famous Audion and Audio Innovations designer Erik Andersson. The reason for the high gain was that it should be used with a passive preamp. This was called Edison 1 and had a good RIAA stage together with the passive line.
Very good special design OPTs.
This is Eriks latest:
