In Reply to: RE: Just got a good deal from PS Audio... posted by ABliss on October 30, 2024 at 10:31:18
That's a great deal on your PS Audio Stellar Gold! Good buy at that price. PS does offer a nice trade-in allowance even on very old gear. Here's a funny story. They offered a big trade-in allowance on "any working DAC" but I didn't have one. I bought the cheapest $15 DAC I could find on Amazon and traded it in. This was many years ago. They honored my trade-in 'trick' but they have since 'fixed' their trade-in program so the trade allowance is based on the MSRP of the item you trade in.
The Schiit Kara does lack 12v trigger which is something I would normally use. In my case, the amp has audio sense so it will turn ON after detecting a couple seconds of audio on its inputs. The Schiit Kara sounds nice but it is VERY basic.
Enjoy your Stellar Gold preamp. Let us know how you like it.

I am surprised they give the original value, most dealers that take trade ins won't even give fifty percent of what you paid.
It will be my first PS Audio major component, I have only had thier power cables and outlets , so I am hoping it a real keeper.
I was turned off by the big clustered multi purpose remote at first, but the sales guy is replacing it with a much nicer simpler one from the Strata Intergrated amp,after I told him the big one was a deal breaker.
Hmm, I wonder if the Remote from the Strata will have all the necessary functions for the Stellar Gold.
I will often use a cheap programmable learning remote and program just the buttons I will need on a daily basis. This also keeps the original remote in pristine condition as I store it away with the batteries removed.
Don't laugh. I have a few these around the listening room. You program buttons on it by pointing your original remote at it. It 'learns' those button presses.
Chunghop Learning Remote $9 Amazon :
You can disregard the button labels and program each to whatever you want it to be.
That's a good idea with the cheap remote. The sales guy said the Strata remote does all the functions except one, selecting one of the xlr inputs, which I probably will never use anyway. So we'll see, can't wait.
