Hi all, scoff at the noob qns if you'd like hehe (though i hope for non.) Still, i've been reading around and im seeing alot the above topic terms... so..

 

What are they, i don't get much by trying to find out googling, either that i can't comprehend what has been written.

 

Pre- amp ; meaning? found something but seems to be something to do with mics and stuff

 

Op - amp ; ?

 

Thanks in adv all..
