A few years ago I bought a Bose Wave Radio, and it's awesome. And downstairs sits my component stereo from the 70's. So I bought a FOSI 3 turntable preamp, connected it to the Bose, brought up my turntable, and am thoroughly disappointed. I thought it would sound better than it does, but on a scale of 1-10, it's maybe a 4. Yes, I know you get what you pay for in a TT preamp, this one was $70, some are $20, and some can be whatever you want to spend, but I didn't think the difference between a $70 one and a $300 one would be huge - IF it is huge, I don't know, I don't have an expensive one to compare the FOSI to. Has anyone here played with this kind of a setup?
I have a similar preamp powering my 1998 Aiwa stereo speakers and it is so loud and clear. Any pics of how the setup?
This is mine when I first got it. The preamp is on the right. Setup is different now, and the preamp is mounted under the desk. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I would not know anything about levels. I'm guessing it has more to do with the cartridge/stylus. The Turntable was my friends, a $1,000 turtable with a $60 cartridge.... go figure.
