This is a Borbely Erno design SE all jfet line amp in one of his article. I have been using this as a pre-amp since 2006 with Pass power amplifiers like Aleph 60, F4 & F5. The gain of this pre-amp is quite high and thus it can be used to drive F4 to sufficient loudness.
The distortion level is also very low at around 0.003% at 1V and 0.026% at 4V output at balance mode. I am only using +28V dc due to transformer only at 25V x 2 AC.
This pre-amp sound very smooth due to no global negative feedback! But you see the distortion will increase quite fast as the output level increase!
Last update: 20th Sept, 2010: This is the pre-amp that I am still using at this moment as I like the sound of NO Feedback!!
