Very interesting thread. I am temporarily without a pre and have my Oppo 105 feeding directly to my Classe mono blocks. Will use it this way until my VAC pre arrives in a few weeks thus I will have a good understanding of the differences. Will provide feedback once this happens.
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.
