...wow. Beeeeeautiful. Nice combination of wood, metal and knobs.
I feel very nice sound, too.

2Bak, is it unbalanced for both input and output... Yes, I see it.

Enjoy.

OOOh, that's nice

2BAK,

Nice preamp that you got there. I like those knobs. What preamp were you using before, any particular sonic improvements using the BOSOZ?

I take it you decided not to take the balanced route, was this because of the problems of finding a suitable pot?

And finally, what are those output caps?

Happy listening.

Cheers.

Mundorf MCAPs.
This preamp performs really good. I made it unbalanced cause my other gear is rca only.

Hej 2Bak,

I second the post regarding posting these to PassDIY.com. The project looks very nicely done indeed and the backdrop for the photos are also extremely nice.

2BaK , I see 4 mosfets par channel .Did you use active current sources for the CMRR figure since you take an umbalanced output ?

Cheers

those are Caddock resistors.

Oh tank you. Late I realize that it was something else , not transistors.

Great looking pre ! Bravo!
