Big VU meters... Nice

I miss VU meters and all their everyday pointlessness... But wots all this then.. Nice

SG AVU ANALOG VU METER WITH ENCLOSURE 245x175x90 mm | eBay

The basic difference is this: a preamp boosts a weaker signal to line level, while an amplifier boosts a line level signal so that it can be sent to speakers. Suits outputs as Minidisc / Tape 1/ Tape 2 / Recording / Monitoring.
