Since no one will sell me a preamp with decent controls (and
modern-enough to have a remote), I'm building the Douglas Self
"Precision Preamp '96".

For those who don't know, this may be the BEST preamp EVER designed.
It not only has tone controls, it has continuously-variable control of
the turnover frequencies, giving essentially parametric-equalizer
control over the bass and treble. Distortion and noise are designed
into oblivion.

Parts are in-hand. Boards are laid-out and on order from
expresspcb.com. I'll let you jerks know how it turned-out. 8)

Oh, right. They are there, as is Accuphase, but they are both
massively overpriced.

Dizzy, who knows what will happen when you *discover* parametric
equalization. ;-)

A good design, very useable tone controls.

I'd like to know how this works out for you.

I also put in a home-theater pass-through switch, which only God knows
why is not in every modern preamp.
