When turned all the way up it is truly evil, I was amazed on how loud a single 12" speaker can be and how much you can feel from a couple feet away.. This is why Ii called it the Evil Amp, I am sure when some Guitar guy gets to play on it and see what it can do, Someone will want one bad.
Here is a link to the Preamp,
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/MIC200.aspx
There are several companies making basically the same thing in all kind of price ranges, I even saw this one for over $100 and as little as $29.99, I see some now on Ebay at $43.00 but others makers for $29..
While I am no Audiophile and I can't tell a set of RCA 6V6s from a set of Sylvanias like so many others can, I still think this sounds the same as using just a more powerful amp.


I might have to get me one or two. I could use two for my iPod and cellphone to warm their sound up some before plugging them into my stereo system.

It sure will give them a bump in volume as well.
The wife and I ran the unit last night for a few hours and all went as well as could be expected, Nothing funny just plugged into a misc. outlet,
Now we have just too much stuff, So I am hoping that one of my nutty friends or their nuttier friends will want it.

Looking at that Bell and Howell stuff makes me nostalgic for those elementary school days sitting in a darkened room watching Hemo the magnificent (the secret word is "sea water") and the "You are there" series with Walter Cronkite. Fun times.

Those B&H projectors are still around and a number of people (including myself) in the 16mm film collecting community still use them.
