The Boulder 1008 is a reference-class balanced phono preamplifier manufactured by the renowned American company Boulder Amplifiers. Developed using technologies from the celebrated 2008 model, the 1008 brings a "zero-compromise" design philosophy to a single-chassis unit machined from solid metal using high-precision CNC milling.

Proprietary Architecture and Technologies

Fully Balanced Circuitry: Inputs and outputs utilize a balanced architecture to leverage the inherently balanced nature of signals from phono cartridges, ensuring the rejection of common-mode noise.

985 Discrete Gain Modules: Incorporates proprietary, potted 985 Gain Stage modules, engineered specifically for this model. They offer extended dynamic range and an extremely low noise floor.

Selectable Historical EQ Curves: In addition to the standard RIAA curve, the front panel allows for the selection of EMI, Columbia, and FFRR (Decca) equalization curves—essential for the correct playback of vintage and mono LPs cut prior to 1955.

Interchangeable Loading Boards (Personality Cards): Removable rear cards allow for the configuration of gain (MM or MC) and load resistance/capacitance, tailoring the response to the precise specifications of the installed cartridge.

Connections and Controls

SectionFeatures

Phono Inputs2 stereo balanced XLR inputs (convertible to RCA via dedicated Boulder adapters). Analog Outputs: 2 pairs of balanced XLR outputs (can be used simultaneously for a preamplifier and a recorder).

Front Panel Controls: Input Selector (1/2), Mute, Mono, Subsonic Filter (10 Hz Low-Cut), and EQ selectors (RIAA/EMI/Columbia/FFRR).

Gain at 1 kHz: 70 dB (MC) / 44 dB (MM)
