Peter, are you considering not doing an active preamp for this guy, who's into loud rock??? The dynamics will suffer according via the PASSIVE ROUTE!!!! I'd do the preamp for him for sure...that's me however
CD Player with volume or preamp
I am building a system for $10,000 for a friend. The only source will be a CD player. I was thinking of Wadia 830 or Cary 303/200 (not sure if it comes with a volume control) with remote volume control versus adding a preamp. He is not an audiophile and just wants a good sounding system. He is using a 25 year old Panasonic receiver today so that is where he is coming from now.
What do you suggest regrading CD with remote volume or adding a preamp. Also what other CD players should I consider.
Thanks
Peter
