Never considered passives and have only used actives or integrateds. I read a lot online and the guys praising passives are not that many. And direct to ampers always seems to lead back to using a preamp again.
Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system
Hello guys
This is my first post and I have been on Audiogon for a number of years now.
My question to the group is, have any of you removed your preamp completely from your system? Run your front ends straight to your amp? And, what benefits have you noticed, if any.
And finally, if you have used a passive preamp in your system, what are your thoughts on the setup?
I understand one would need to have some sort of "pot" in the signal path to regulate volume.
