No preamp in system


 

I want to point out how the perception of our equipment changes over time. I’m getting so use to the sound of my system without a preamp (which is out for repair) to the point that I’m accepting it as good sound.  It reveals something about our hobby.  When we get new equipment we often say “let it break in.”  And lo and behold, it sounds much better over time.  Is it that were really fooling ourselves, and that it’s simply a matter of us getting use to it?

Just food for thought.

@rvpiano ...I've been running 'pre-less' for years running sources to a matrix that loops in a ss 32 band eq with a parametric bands....does the room eq to flat.
Tweak to taste and amp it.....
Got gifted with a nice pre, but looping it into the maze will Be Amazing....  Haven't owned one since '90...this one, more in/outs than a subway station... *L*

@audioman58 .....I try to knock 2 out of those 3.....spend those on the not-so delightful stuff 'cept foodstuffs and exotica...  ;)
