Any active/passive preamps with penny & giles pot?


Hi,

I heard a DIY preamp that used penny & giles potentiometer at a friend's place, and to my ears it sounded awesome. Much much better than anything i'd heard before.

Now, i'm no good at DIY ... so i was wondering if it was possible to buy a preamp that used this potentiometer. Any of you folks know of any commercially available preamp that uses this pot?

Thanks!

I have one in my system right now, the HORCH 1.2 P&G (the penny & giles pot is an option). The preamp is active solid state including phonostage. No remote function.

I am still a bit in shock that this preamp sounds better than my 3 times as expensive (and 4 times the size) Audionet PRE G2, which I have not been able to top until now.

HORCH is a small company in Germany, I would be happy to give you more information and put you in touch with them if you are interested. The website is www.horch-elektroakustik.de but no English content. The 1.2 P&G can be found under products in the classic line.

All the best
