Top 10 low gain line stages


I need either a passive or a low gain preamp, my Supratek has to much gain for my current setup.

I was told mainly because my Lampizator lite 7 has 3v of gain. so a list would be greatly appreciated and so would a remote;)

thanks,Scott

Hi Scott,

Good choice - I am a big fan of passives, personally. If you need a passive with remote, the best choice in my personal experience (short of spending $25k plus) is the Slagle Autoformer. My next choice would be some of the newer LDR attenuators, such as those sourced from Tortuga. Donald North Audio purportedly offers a remote controlled passive based on the Silver Rock silver transformer attentuators, which are awesome, but I have never heard the DNA implementation.

If you do not need a remote, Silver Rock is the way to go under $8k. Above that, you might consider the Da Vinci or the Ypsilon passives.

Best of luck.
