01a Preamp by Nash

 

It’s always satisfying to see someone else enjoying the end result of their build work. Here’s a great example of Nash building his take on the 01a low gain DHT pre-amp:

Hi Ale,

Its now over two months since I have been listening to your low gain version of the 01A preamp in concert with a Slagle AVC after it.

Over a span of a few years I have built several preamps and I can honestly say that this one is substantially better than any of the others. As a classical music fan I value attributes like clarity, timbre, body, weight and speed and your design delivers! I would like to use the analogy of a superb cake with icing- the cake is the 01A pre and the icing is the AVC. Thank you for a great design!

I have recently replaced RMu and the divider resistors with the TT Electronics PFC series SMD resistors mounted on a 1206 adapter. These are tantalum nitride resistors and they sound wonderful in this application. 

Further, I am getting interested in your 300B SE builds. Are you using a preamp before these? Please send me a link to your latest work in this area which you feel I should consider.

Regards,
Nash Bapasola  in NJ
