I've noticed it...on my Counterpoint SA-5000 the tape 1 input has one less switch in the path than the CD, tuner, etc. On other preamps I assumed it was because I used channel 1 often and burned it in, but didn't often use the others.
Different sound from inputs 1 and 2 on preamp
Does or has anyone observed that there is difference in sound between different imputs on the same preamp. I have discovered that with my Pass X1 my input balanced 1 sound different from my input balanced 2. They both sound good but they sound different.Is this normal and has anyone else noticed differences between their inputs sonically on their preamps.
