hi, i have a lava omnipro 8008 and was wondering if it was possible to add a diferent or" better" preamp to get a stronger signal on some channels that are just of range.

I really can't give an honest answer to that question. I have not tried it. But i would think you could add an amp to your line and get better results. You could leave the built in one hooked up and add an amp to it or disconnect it and add an amp i am sure. You certainly can't harm it in trying.

Ihave a neighbor that just bought and extra booster and it was actual worse it works on height and distance if need a stronger signal have to buy the 150 mile range

That very good anten. Try to move hang to another place. So you can get any channels.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I installed this at my mother's house 1200 miles away while there for Christmas. I would like to know this as well as she occasionally had trouble with a couple of channels.

Use an inline "powered" amplifier to boost the signal. Many have two or more outlets. Radio Shack has them, probably Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, or your local hardware store, will have them too. They're cheap no frills and do the job.

Or you could check out what are known as "head pre-amps" that will amplify the signal from the cartridge so that it meets the Denon receiver's minimum input requirement.When I was shopping around for a new multi-channel receiver or a simple stereo pre-amp/amp the salesman recommended that I go for a stereo pre-amp/amp since it would have a phono input, but the usual receivers don't.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

I used it to combine 2 db8 antenna and they worked great. If you have a weak signal then yes i woul add a preamp/amp combo to boost the signal.

I am not familiar with MPAll preamp. You can try the Tungsol 12AX7 & see if you like the sound. I have had no problems with this tube so far.

I bought this preamp Channel Master CM 7777 TITAN2 UHF/VHF PREAMPLIFIER CM7777, it brought a couple of channels up out of the noise to a point where they were quite viewable. There was a bit of artifacts but those were channels that were in and out without the preamp.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

I was told that those antennas weren't very good by the people at Solid Signal. In any case, I'm in a fringe area and have an antenna designed to pull in signals from 60-70 miles. The Motorola Booster will only amplify what it gets from the antenna. There are times when I have 100% signal strength and there are times when most channels disappear completely. A mast mounted pre-amp may help with signal strength to the booster. The booster is really meant to feed into a splitter to distribute a signal to multiple sets. It can't create what isn't there. Mine is in my attic and feeds four rooms. When there is signal from the antenna, it works fine. I bought a pre-amp for the antenna but haven't installed it as yet.

Yes preamp will make it sound better! Most receivers don't have enough preamp build inside to run the turntable

For the preamp you may want something with a bit less gain than a 12AX7. I keep a selection of 12AU7s, 12AT7s, 12AY7s etc. I have an RCA made metal can 6V6 in the power stage and its unbelievable. The dynamic range is huge.

Hello Brandon, yes that was my idea too. I have attached an 9 dbi antenna that was 5 times the size of the original antenna. And there was totally no difference in range

I have not used that one but using channel master I am getting signals as far as 70 or more miles with also using signal amp. hope this helps.

You could bi-amp if you are willing to use channels 6-7 to do so. But using the same amp as a bi-amp source will not result in the improvement you seek. But yes, you can if you wish. Check out the forums on the Emotiva web site.

I was going to use a preamp but saw a video for installation. The preamp interfered with the signal. So I am not using a preamp. Watch YouTube brian shaw's, how to install two hdtv antenas. That will give you a better idea.

I didn't see any channel selection on mine. Maybe they mean something inside, like 6 frequency ranges. The amplifier didn't work for me because it amplified surrounding noise as much as what I was listening to.

yes but i'm not sure how many ohm's the mixamp pushes. you'll probably benefit from double amping i'm sure.
