As title says, I'm looking for an Optima Pre Amp.

Mine works except for the 1/4" plug that makes noise whenever the jack moves so I will buy either a complete preamp or just the connectors module, whichever I can find first.

Have you pulled the jack out and checked the wiring connections? Sometimes the jack gets loose enough to spin in the hole and weaken the solder points.

Or it might just be dirty.
I seriously doubt the preamp is at fault.

Yes I pulled it out. Actually had a topic about this a while back. The solders are fine, the jack has kind of come soft and the 1/4 plug moves in it and makes some bad sounds.

Hi! I have spare XLR module, but it's "newer version":

- designed for OP-50, OP-Pro/Studio

- Diameter of XLR plug hole is 22mm (comparing to 24 mm for Optima's module)

I tested it with Optima - it works, but I can't provide any warranty.

Please PM if interested

Best, Alex
