.... I also sell a st-9000 preamp that has 30 db of gain, they can actually both be used together for 50 db of gain total, more then enough for most things....
Chris Church
if more gain is needed is it generally OK to use two preamps in sequence?
or are there differences depending on design? e.g., which of the 2 designs, would be more adapt to be used twice in series?
the project13 or the ferocious at geocities?
I don't know about adding stuff in series.
But the second design you show is typical of most of these small preamps. I based my design on it as well. The first design is too simple, and will have higher distortion than the second.
