Hello papo1963,
I remember one of theses. It uses gold plated board (very nice), MPSA42 in line stage and an anemic external transformer that you can easily change.

Hello papo,
I don't know. I probably listen to the Fet Ten or Fet Nine preamplifier, perhaps two ones

Nope,
the 11 came out when Pass Laboratories already left the station.
You're just about right about the update part, i found it a trifle ashaming when i read the Fet-11 reviews at the time. From the posterior lobe of my watermelon, the Germ audio mag Hifi Vision had an article on the F-11 ( me make F joke
) One of the mags in Frenchy had a review too, me not sure if it was NRDS or a Swiss one.
Afaih the model was only sold in Europe, mainly the German spoken part to be exact, and only briefly.
Probably the reason why it is not listed at the T.Corp. site, if you can not find it there.
(stalkers like me should be locked up, straightjacket style)
Darn, i don't have the patience to wait for you to contemplate.
The Threshold amps for Europe were e numbers, e as in Europaplapa, time for me to drabble again about the SA4/e.
All together now : g stands for ?
In good old Straussian : sonderausgabe

Hello Jacco,
thanks for your info.
I have no idea about what "g" means..as you said most of the Threshold had an "e" (i own a pair of SA6/e mono amp).
Germany had SA30 and SA40 instead of SA3/9e and SA4/e...maybe they had Fet 11 instead of Fet 10?
I will probably ask to Threshold .
Regards
Fabio

Yes and No.
as far as i understood it, the SA/30 and SA/40 were special editions for the German market.
But an SA/30 is not the equivalent of an SA/3, but more like an S/300.
You'd have to ask the big hairy guy how they came up with the e-label, the Fet/10e was like a MKII Fet/10(plus gimma the P or get me High)
I'm pretty sure that the 11g was solely intended for the German distributors, could be that the g stands for General overhaul instead of G-ggggg-germany.

Fet 11/g = Fet 10/e
Hello Jacco,
sorry for the late reply.
i bought the Fet 11/g and wrote to Threshold.
They confirmed that Fet 10/e and Fet11/g are the same preamp with a different name : "The FET-11 is the equivalent to the FET-10e. It was made for the foreign market".
Thanks for your help.

Just bought a Threshold FET Eleven/g and it is so good!
I do not know which engineer made this (Lauchli, Bladelius and/or Pass) but chapeau.
It took all the harshness away when I substituted it for my other solidstate pre-amp which I had to install instead of my CJ EVO20se tube amp because according to Steve Leckrone a former Krell technician my Krell KRS-100's hate the DC and oscillating of a tube-amp...
The Threshold FET Eleven is like silk, I'm happy!

Thanks Wayne.
Yes I know basically a FET ten/e Series for the German market.
Try to find a owners manual and the adhesive on top with the nomenclature is missing.
A multi-engineered piece of audio equipment then.
I know Rene did the aesthetics of them Thresholds.
Beautiful inside, outside and sounding!
