Is no preamp really better that a good preamp?


Hi All, I have PS Audio gear, and both my DAC and my phono section have enough gain to run directly to the amp. Is this really the optimal arrangement, or might I actually get better sound by adding a good preamp, say a Cary or a Modwright tube unit, to the mix. Thanks in advance.

I've had issues with excess gain in systems over the years - but nothing remotely approaching the excess gain I'd be forking over to the maker of that $13k passive preamp should I be foolish enough to buy one.
