Preamp and Amp how much influence each contributes?


A lot of people Claim preamp has more influence on sound than amp. But in reality there are close to 10 :1 discussions on amps than preamp. What’s your thoughts? And how  would you distribute your money between them? How much sound quality do you sacrifice for a same power integrated amp?

I've heard preamps that influenced the sound character as much as amplifiers have.

But the reality is amplifiers are a more difficult product to consider because of the need to consider what sort of load it is driving (i.e. the speakers). And thus the larger number of questions and opinions about amplifiers.

I don't think an integrated amplifier is automatically equal to lower sound quality when compared to separates.
