Preamp Numbers; good, bad, ugly?

[chris ma]

Please comment on the following specifications of a line amp.

Bandwith(-3db) = 0.5/200Khz per ch
Maximium output (10k ohm load) = 9.6V
Maximium output (600 ohm load) = 9.0V
Separation (1kHz) = >115 db below right ch
Separation (20kHz) = > 100 db below right ch
THD (20kHz @ 3 volts out @ 10 k load) = <0.001%
Noise - ref. 1 volt out (20kHz Bandwith) = -120db
Line voltage Min 100 Max 144
D.C. Volts out +/- 22.6V
A.C. ripple + noise +/- 170uV

Good, Bad, Ugly or impossible?

Regards,
Chris

Use your ears to tell you🙂 I cant say anything.

Chris, these numbers are fine, there's no reason why it shouldn't sound good when built.

Actually those are the numbers provided by the manufacturer whom built the pre-amp himself by hand one at a time in his comercial outfit. I bought one from him and it sounds, well like no sound or character I can distinguish. But I am not sure whether he did actually take the measurements or just copied from some other documentations.

Thanks for your comments.

Kind of funny when noise is spec'd at 1uV (pretty darn hard actually) and hum is +44dB more than that. You'd think if someone spent the time to get the noise figure so low they would pay some attention to supply filtering.
