Has anyone used the Primaluna Dialogue integrated as a Preamp only?

I thought it was a goof but I played it safe  :)

Point taken and I appreciate your input :)  I was originally wanting to try a ss amp to mix things up and have a little fun. But since i don't have that Special Edition I guess my idea is out the door. Like you said, the WALLET is happier. 

"The only Special Edition I know of is the HP version of the Dialogue Premium."

samzx12- my response was just a goof

I actually purchased a used PL a Dialogue Premium Pre with intentions of selling my HP intg. and going HP monoblocs.

Using it through the HT bypass, I heard subtle gains, although someone putting on their audiophile hat and listening,  perhaps would hear more improvements? 

No doubt had I went that route,  there would be sonic gains, but I'm satisfied with th HP Integrated and what it does, and my WALLET is happy.  

Has anyone used an external preamp with the PL? 

The only Special Edition I know of is the HP version of the Dialogue Premium. 

samzx12-

you must have a special edition model

You can you the HT bypass for an external preamp out.
I use it for my Mac MR71 FM tuner.

Is that a Premium model picture which I forgot to mention lol? If so, don't I feel like a complete &^%$##@ for not checking myself.  Someone told me a long time ago to never "assume" so that is what I did haha. 

There's NO stereo pre-out on Primaluna Dialogue!
