Diy Solid State Preamp

[Pocoyo]

i always look all the best amplifier

From Aleph, AKSA, Audiosector, Aussie, BPA300,
Bora, DX, JLH, Krell, Leach, Symasym, To Quasy.
ECT

Theres a lot best solidstate amplifier for DIY
But i just saw bride of son of zen (Aleph 1.7)

But where the DIY Active Preamp ?
Is anybody can build this Preamp ?
Is difficult to make hi end Preamp ?

[AndrewT]

The difficulty is getting everyone to agree.
gain or no gain.
active or passive.
chip or discrete.
balanced or unbalanced.
switched, wiped, solid state or led volume control.
switched, solid state, relay or reed source selection.
RCA, BNC, XLR or DIN connectors.
tone control or not.
channel balance, mono switch, stereo or multichannel.

Start computing the permutations and there is a different combination for every member of the Forum.

Hi jeffry,

I think Andrew is right. To design and build is not so difficult, but everyone has different requirements.

[Hartono]

gain or no gain.
active or passive.
chip or discrete.
balanced or unbalanced.
switched, wiped, solid state or led volume control.
switched, solid state, relay or reed source selection.
RCA, BNC, XLR or DIN connectors.
tone control or not.
channel balance, mono switch, stereo or multichannel.

to add to the list:
voltage feedback, current feedback
no global feedback, global feedback
low impedance pot, high impedance pots
jfet , bipolar
pcb, point to point wiring
simple pre-amp , complex pre-amp
battery, mains supply


ARGHHHH~~~~~~~

What is difficult and what is high end ?

I've started putting together a preamp design that has 300 active devices, 250 capacitors and 600 resistors in the amplification sections alone.
Likely very high-end, but do you care to do the same ?

Hi Jeffry,
I guess a true high end" preamp is one that sounds very good to many people who are familiar with this class of product, and has reasonable specifications. I would expect the finish to be presentable.

Can you build one? Probably. You just need to set your priorities and build it some how. An existing design is fair game.

Hey Jacco!,

You're smuggling parts again, aren't you!

Any Stereo preamp that has 300 active devices,250 capacitors, and 600 resistors in the amplification section alone,
(unless of course, you are being facetious, and counting the internal bits inside a few integrated circuits !) is sure to be high end in price only.
I would have thought that you subscribed to the K.I.S.S. principle ? Smacks a bit of Dinosaurs and pink pigs , aimed squarely at some forum members!

P.S. Sincere apologies in the unlikely event that you are being deadly serious.

I can recommend only one DIY preamp at this stage... pedja rogic's jfet buffer.

Hello sir,

I remember a PMA project called Dispre. Full of his favorites BJT.

If you can get DPA-111 schematic, send me a copy
