Think of the cardboard drink carrier that you get at the counter of a fast food restaurant when you order several drinks. The carrier doesn’t interact with the drinks in any way. The carrier doesn’t make the drinks colder or warmer or sweeter. It is simply a means to conveniently transport the drinks from one location to another.

What is the highest frequency you can hear? The common belief is that the range of human hearing is from 20 Hertz (cycles per second) to 20,000 Hz. Young people can often hear frequencies at or near 20 kHz, but as we age and our hearing is damaged by years of loud music, gunfire (hopefully from sporting arms), civilization, and possibly vocational noise, our hearing acuity decreases in the upper frequencies.

The Dodd Battery-Powered Preamplifier is a revolutionary component for two reasons:
1. It absolutely redefines the level of preamplifier performance that audiophiles should expect for under $10,000. The list price is $3300.
2. It sets new standards for tube preamplifier performance in the very important criteria of signal-to-noise ratio.
