Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp

does this have 2 pre outs?? that would be cool, it also would be cool if i could find a pic of the rear of the unit, i have looked everywhere and it is quite vexing.
thanks

i may get a djh instead but i think that has only one output and i really probably need 2 out put, from what ive read the djh does some things better namely punch? and that is a justification for choosing just the single preoutput of the djh over the double preferable ouput of the aes ae3 mkII

anyone directly a/b these unit yet

thanks

DJH only have one pre out but there is room to add another if you are handy.
Adding oil caps and Cary feet to the MkII might yield a better preamp, as it has better transformers.

For what it's worth, Gerald Walsh told me the DJH has 14 dB gain. I wanted to clarify that since folks in this thread think it has 20.

Just want to chime in and say the AE3 DJH is an excellent affordable preamp for those who want to experience what a nicely built tube preamp has to offer. It does not have a tone of bells and whistles but I consider it excellent value for the money. I've moved on to much more expensive models over the years but I still have a soft spot for this one. If a used one comes up in good condition snatch one up.

I owned one years ago. To much gain for most power amps. Cary confirms it is 20 db gain, unless the last production of it was changed and not advertised on the AES site before it was taken down.
