I am trying to build a common emitter amplifier as a preamp stage to a class AB output amplifier which I plan to use to drive a couple of speakers, but I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out the right resistor values to use to bias it. I've turned to the Internet for help, with no luck so far. It would be much appreciated if someone could help me with choosing the right resistor values to use. Thanks

Would you settle for a low noise jfet preamp?

 

Would you settle for a low noise jfet preamp?

I would use that but I don't have any spare jfets lying around so I was thinking about using a 2N3904

 

If you run into noise problems, the jfet is good at fixing that.
It all depends on exactly what levels of signal you are trying to pre-amp.
Good calculating.
