  • Solved my issues sampling from vinyl. HUM is gone!

    I did some research and took a chance on this unit - flat out this is one of the best audio gear purchases I have made. I sample vinyl into Akai MPCs and it seemed every mixer or external preamp would produce some kind of noise or hum. Power conditioners and eliminating ground loops did not solve the issue,... until I received this unit. All the outputs this thing has makes it super useful and the sound is mega-clean. No more hum! This thing has some research put into it. I will definitely be purchasing some other Radial gear. This thing is a brick and you could knock someone out with it!

    This thing rocks. I used my mixer to amplify my turntable but lost a lot of Pow! and Boom! but this solves everything. More power deeper low pass and mondo sound!

  • Great box, just like all Radia products

    Just needed a clean pre-amp to record my LP's onto my computer. Paired with Bias Soundsaver, this really does the job. Of course, that is what I expected from these guys! Own multiple products of theirs, and I have not been disappointed yet.

    This unit has turned out to be really really great! I was previously using a fairly high-end hi-fi preamp from Rotel, and since it's output was -10 line level, I was less than thrilled with the sound when I bumped it up to line for transferring records to the computer for re-mastering. Using the J33 has improved my overall sound quality in all the transfers. It's not overly hyped in any way, and it's got a nice frequency response. The different hookups would probably make it really handy for people in different scenarios, but I'm just going XLR mic level into my console and then into my computer. All in all, a fantastic unit. Definitely worth the money!
