Thoughts on PS Audio 5.6 pre


Tonight I pick up a secondhand PS Audio 5.6 preamp for around 180 dollars (125 euro). I plan to use it in my second system, which is nothing fancy. But how good is the PS Audio? Any experiences with this baby?

Thanx for the responses, guys. The reason it was so cheap is because the casing and some knobs are scratched and the screw to ground the turntable broke of. Technically it's in pretty good shape, none of the caps need replacing. I'll hook it up in my main system one of these days, to compare it with my current pre (Aragon 24K with the IPS powersupply and the Penny&Giles volume. Best one stays in...

Does anyone have any specs of the PS Audio, especially about the phono pre? I thought I read somewhere that loading and capacitance were adjustable on the inside, and indeed I found two small totary switches. But I'm don't want to wreck the pre just yet... :)
