Description :
The Legacy High Current Preamplifer is one of the best preamps on the market. It is highly regarded and part of many audiophile systems. The degree of precision is fantastic with volume and balance movement of exactly 2dB steps allows for precise control. Balanced in and out, as well as Single-Ended RCA offers a great deal of versatility as well. The Legacy High Current Preamplifier also boasts some innovative ideas, which make it stand out against preamps costing lots more. The preamplifier is a high-current design using FETs on the input with zero-feedback Class A complementary followers to drive the outputs. An ideal preamp should not impose any sonic signature of its own on the sound. It's just line in, line out with some level control and input switching. Even with different speakers, different rooms, the impressions are almost the same. The good bass extension with great control of low frequencies, smooth ear-friendly upper midrange without harshness and remarkable high frequency detail and openness. In Issue #61 Gregory Koster of Sensible Sound Magazine said, "The Legacy High Current Preamplifier has top-notch sound, exquisite build and feel and remote control functionability." The Legacy's interior is elegant. The parts are laid out so neatly, that it looks like a textbook illustration of circuit design. It does everything the owner may want a preamp to do and does it well. The Legacy High Current preamplifier is about as transparent as they come, look good, and are well built with quality parts, nicely laid out and most importantly, sounds wonderful.


Functions
The front panel of the preamp is black anodized with simple, well-laid-out controls. Four nice-feeling push buttons on the left select inputs, each with a LED indicating which input is selected. The center has an illuminated display showing the numeric level of each channel. Three additional push buttons activate mono as well as monitor and processing loops. The back panel has one set of balanced XLR inputs with three sets of unbalanced RCA input connectors. Two sets of RCA connectors make it possible to insert both a monitor and a processor loop. Both XLR-balanced and RCA-unbalanced outputs are available. Level control is accomplished with a Crystal Semiconductor CS3310 potentiometer, which is a digitally controlled analog part. A front panel digital display has 100 steps with 1-dB resolution. The numbers in the default setup indicate dB of attenuation from 00 to 99, but can be reversed to make the larger numbers louder. With this type of digitally controlled analog pot it is possible to have more precise tracking between channels than with a multigang analog pot. Another great feature is the remote control capability. A small, six-button infrared wireless remote allows the user to change level, balance, switch inputs, insert monitor or processor loops, and mute. For pro applications, this is really cool since the actual preamp does not have to be taking up space near the workstation where space is at a premium.
