| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? Any Wavac pre, end game | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @majorc Analogue, ifi know what they are doing | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Two sleepers from me: I run a Zyx Universe CU24 on a Dynavector arm through a Bobsdevices Altec TBB103 SUT to a Zyx Artisan, which is not a universal tool but through its battery supply very quiet and with the Zyx cartridge beautifully neutral and... | |

| DAC variable output It depends on the attenuator in your dac. As long as that is analogue rather than digital there will be no bit loss and consequently no advantage from the preamp | |
| Go Cat8! @steakster, you are very welcome, I had the same reaction and this is what the forum is all about: sharing experiences good and bad rather than arguing about things you haven’t even tried. Enjoy the music | |

| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @majorc, you are right, however: a passive avoids the additional lossiness of a digital attenuator. Running the Dac at max output reduces the impact of the mismatch | |
| Stay grounded @lalitk, pls give us your experience. I‘ll try out some Chinese boxes and give feedback |
