Does anyone have some good schematics of direct coupled preamp? As for direct coupled output, will you need some type of servo feedback to keep output at 0V?
Not usually for a low gain line stage. Most op amp line stages can be direct coupled.
There are op amps with 10uV input offset spec.
Do you need a phono stage? That's different due to the high LF gain needed.

Thanks. I won't need phono for now.
I prefer not using opamp, but with discrete components. Probably will be FET since it will sound more like tubes.

An oldie but a goodie.

If you only use CD/DAC sources, voltage gain is not needed. Just a 10k pot (with source selection) is fine.

Do you need gain? If 0dB buffer is okay, try DCB1 and the Kuartlotron. I have both of them and I think they are good.
