PA-1
Description: This is the preamp that has been advertised in Music Direct's flyers. Monolithic Sound is the company created by Dusty Vawter, formerly of Audio Alchemy. In keeping with the AA tradition, the chasis is smaller than your average preamp, yet it manages to have four inputs and two outputs (all single ended). The front of the chasis sports a rotary/detented switch for the four inputs on the left, a muting toggle switch near the center, and a volume/gain control knob on the right( as you rotate the knob clockwise, the gain is passive until the mark on the knob aligns with a detented 0dB mark which is at 12 o'clock, then the active gain stage takes over). A cool blue LED in the center glows to let you know the power is on (no power switch). Speaking of power, the power supply is in a separate chasis. A power supply upgrade is available, but this review was made with the standard power supply.
