Meh!

He’s not wrong

VU meters on a pre-amp? I think not. On a poweramp they are fine but are secondary considerations to shin-threatening heat fins and enormous weight.

Every item should have VU meters. One day when I’m bored I’m going to put together a complete system that has VU meters on every single component.

You manage that on a cartridge and you will earn much respect.

Sounds a bit D’Agostino tbh :roll_eyes:

To be fair to you, as a Range Rover owner, meters moving correctly, and indeed at all, is probably a novelty, so I can see the attraction for you with the kit…

I’d like to see vu’s on speaker cables

Business idea, right there. They’d be breaking the doors down to get their hands on them.
