Hello, Frank!

How is it going with the Insight RB pre? Anything exciting yet?
Thanks,

I had to back step on the PC card design a bit because the PC mount power transformer I wanted to use and designed into the proto-board turned out not to be quiet enough.  So I am in the process of reworking the board to take a separate chassis mounted toroid power transformer.  I should have it ready to send to the fabricators for prototypes in a couple of weeks.

Regards,

Frank

That is what Frank said a few weeks ago on one of threads ( My cans...) .
"I am kind of wondering if there would be any interest in a new version of the RB (Real Basic) preamp with Insight circuits.  Just a precision volume control, precision balance control, three sets of inputs selected by pushbuttons, and phono and remote options (and a great headphone circuit too)." He got several positive responses.

I just wanted to make it (more) public. The RB should be somewhat cheaper than Insight SL.

How about adding a phase inversion option that does not require two stereo amps?

If he keeps adding features, it might cease to be "real basic" !

All I want is a volume POT, one input, one output.  Simple headphone amp for my Grado's and Seinheisser's.
