Actually the reason the records produced during the Golden Age sound so freaking good is because they were still recording and mastering with tube electronics, including tube microphones. Hel-loo! It was in the seventies when the industry switched over to solid state that everything went to hell.
Best Preamp = No Preamp?
I'm currently looking for some DACs. I'm looking at Benchmark DAC1, Bel Canto DAC3, Slim Devices Transporter, etc...
I noticed most of these newest high performance DACs have built in volume control with remote.
I'm thinking that I can connect these DACs directly to my Power Amp skipping preamp.
Is that right thinking? Why go through additional peice of device when I can avoid? Anybody doing it that way?
What'll be the pros and cons?
