Preamp Matching?
I recently posted a question asking for the best SS 200 wpc amp. I am now wondering the importance of mating the preamp with the amp and how to understand the specs to understand this relationship. A review of the McCormack DNA-225 states that it would mate well with a passive preamp but Steve emailed me and said that my BAT VK-30SE would also mate well with that amp (something about the volume control unit specs). So, I am confused. How much importance should be placed on this?
