Douk Audio T14

This tiny preamp replaced a big and heavy professional 4 channel DJ mixer that I was using specifically for the phono preamp. The sound quality is comparable and the noise floor is very low. The main feature for me is the ability to power via a power bank. I tried a couple of low impedance headphones, all working fine. Excellent overall.

Superb sub £50 phono pre-amp. Hooked this up to my AV amp via the CD input. Was pleasantly surprised and how great it sounded. No buzz, no hum. Pure silence untill I put a record on. Really like the additional bass and treble controls as my AV amp doesn't really allow this without major messing with. The 3.5mm jack is an added bonus. Can't really fault it. Love it.

This preamp does the job, and despite using it with a very cheap USB power adapter, is hum free. The size took me by surprise. This is a tiny unit, with rather small controls.

I recently bought the ATLP120X turntable to use with my powered speakers (HS50M). I made use of the built in phono amp to get a line level signal. It was great but as I was going into powered speakers I had no single volume control (one on each speaker) and no control for treble or bass. This little unit has made all the difference, a single volume and the ability to colour the sound to taste. Really impressed with the sound I have now for very little investment. Whilst cheap I’d imagine that the built in one on the turntable only has components that cost pennies. It’s all subjective of course, but this has made my setup 8x better than previously 👍

Wow. I was not expecting that level of difference for that price point. I have the audio Technica lp120xusb which is a great turntable but this little preamp has quadrupled the sound

I bought this little pre amp for my daughter so that she would be able to plug an old 80’s Sony direct drive turntable into a pair of KS Reunion active speakers. I had tried couple of other budget phono pre amps and both were too noisy to be considered usable. This one, however, works a treat. It sounds good and has virtually zero background noise or hiss. It looks quite cute as well. You will have to provide your own usb power supply though. But considering how awful and noisy the power supply’s that are usually included with these budget amps are, I would consider the ability to provide a higher quality PSU a bonus. I’ve tried and returned quite a few budget pre amps from Amazon and I feel that it’s always the PSU that lets them down. A cheap, generic, dc adapter will always spill a load of interference and buzz into the audio. And the smaller the amp, the more susceptible it can be to such interference.

What a quality item this is. I was coming from an Art DJ PRO where I was getting a lot of noise from power supply. This Douk is the bees knees and I'm truly astounded by the quality and lack of noise. It's moved my vinyl experience from 2 to 8 in one foul swoop.

Considering it's price compared with audiophile preamps this is not bad at all. I recently compared with a Cambridge audio 640p and the douk with the bass and treble at approx 1 o'clock and volume at around 3 o'clock, sounded the same to me.

Ich habe den Pre-Amp gebraucht auf Amazon gekauft, und nachdem ich Depp das Massekabel am Plattenspieler befestigt hatte lief das Ganze auch ;) Da ich mit meinem "Setup" eh noch am Anfang bin und bis dato noch einen gebrauchten Tonabnehmer + Nadel verwende, kann ich so nur sagen, dass der kleine Verstärker hier einen super Job macht. Der Lautstärke-Regler funktioniert super, und bei mir gibt es keine Verzerrung. Höhen- und Bassregler regeln wirklich merklich, sodass ich meine Verstärker-Einstellungen nicht anrühren muss. Einzig das mitgelieferte Massekabel ist eher "geht so".... Ist ein langes Kabel mit 2 Krokoklemmen an jedem Ende. Ich habe mir ein eigenes Kabel mit einem passenden Kabelschuh gebaut. Bestimmt gibt es in höheren Preisklassen noch bessere, aber die Unterschiede würde ich mit dem aktuellen Setup kaum bis gar nicht heraushören. Klare Empfehlung meinerseits für kleines Geld.

Compré este amplificador porque otros más baratos no tenían ganancia suficiente. Este, por el contrario, la verdad es que se pasa y apenas hace falta subirlo a menos de la mitad para tener sonido más que suficientemente alto por el auricular. A partir de 1/3 de volumen se empieza a escuchar algo de hiseo, pero una vez empieza la música no lo vas a notar. El control del volumen afecta a la salida trasera, por lo que puedes subirlo a 1/3 en una primera etapa y con eso es suficiente para escuchar por el ordenador con sonido limpio. El aparato por la parte de abajo tiene unos interruptores para ajustarlo para entrada Phono o Line. El control de los agudos y graves funciona bien, pudiendo ajustar el amplificador a la aguja que uses. El tamaño compacto permite ponerlo donde no estorbe o donde lo necesites a mano. El manual no viene en Español. La alimentación es por USB-C, trae cable pero no adaptador (seguro que tienes tropecientos por casa dando vueltas que puedas usar, o si no enchúfalo al ordenador). Por lo general un buen aparatito que si no es de gama alta, es lo suficientemente bueno por el precio. EDITADO/NOTA: Si estás usando la salida Phono y el sonido suena como "debajo del agua" o "sin chicha", prueba a pasar los interruptores de abajo de MC a MM. Con eso te debería de sonar mucho mejor. EDITADO/NOTA 2: Sobre los interruptores inferiores, el manual dice que son para ajustar a la impedancia de salida, pero eso es una errata. Realmente ajusta el amplificador al tipo de cartucho, de "Moving Coil" MC (Bobina Movible) o "Moving Magnet" MM (Imán Movible). La mayoría de tocadiscos usan cartuchos con imán movible, y el aparato por defecto viene para bobina movible. Cuando te llegue asegúrate de ponerlo en el modo correcto para tu cartucho, si no el sonido será muy malo.

Un peu cher par rapport au site d'origine

I was looking for a phono preamp for my Ortofon Cadenza MC phono cartridge and stumbled upon this small device. It looks well engineered and works well. I connected a DC powerbank and then a a USB-C cable with regular iPhone 5 V DC power plug and did not hear any difference. The sound quality is excellent.

Dopo innumerevoli test e prove finalmente ho trovato l'amplificatorino che mi aiuta a mettere in connessione e a ristrutturare il mio vecchio radio giradischi a transistor. Giradischi originale irrecuperabile ma con un giradischi esterno ho potuto sfruttare l'ingresso del radio giradischi a 5 PIN e ascoltarmi, finalmente bene, i dischi . L'amplificatoe riduce tantissimo il fruscio e praticamente inesistente, presente su tutti gli altri test che ho fatto utilizzando mixer amplificatori vari. Puoi inoltre regolare alti e bassi . Ha un suono, un po' ovattato ma è sufficiente regolarle i volumi e riesci a ridare quel giusto calore che a questo tipo di impianto. Infatti sino ad ora avevo trovato sempre volumi sfasati e bassi inesistenti.
