Analogue only preamp ideas? - no need for internal DAC!
So making progress in my quest for perfection.
have a great dac, Chord Tt2
great amp Mcintosh great speakers, B&W 804 D3And a Roon Nucleus.
but I have a subpar avr,
An analogue only preamp seems ideal and so many have a standalone dac, so analogue preamp seems a good idea.
Mcintosh has some units that seem quite nice, eg C70 tube. Seems tube is a great way to go but tubeless has pros too.
Need some ideas. Thanks

@emergingsoul -- agree. I think it offers some information but it's not a textbook entry on the subject. I think you're right to see that there's a fair amount of "Paul personality" mixed in with information. I learned some from these, too: https://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/do-preamps-enhance-sound-quality/ https://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/do-we-need-preamplifiers/ https://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/understanding-differential-preamps/ https://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/why-are-preamps-expensive/ https://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/why-arent-passive-preamps-more-popular/ |
