Do you use a preamp in your HT system to improve sound?

what preamp do u use in your ht system and is it helping ht SQ?

I like idea of enhancing ht sound with a preamp. Even the hi end processors are limited in their SQ.

i use a low end tube preamp and like its influence on hq sound. I am considering an upgraded preamp.

It sounded so good I got rid of my Berkeley 2 MQA DAC. I had a McIntosh C1000/T1000 Preamp and the C8 is just as quiet for 1/4th of the price. Everything is getting better in quality every year and it’s hard to tell the difference anymore

I have a new McIntosh mx100 processor. The processor only offer balanced in/outs everything is super clean and natural. I think matching manufacturers helps too.
