| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? If you want to hear what your source sounds like without these active preamp colouration/distortions you should try to use your source into your poweramp via a passive preamp, the closest to a "straight piece of wire" sound.I agree that all active... | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? I, like Ralph, was going to cite distortion as the main culprit. I learned something new about how the brain processes music - limbic center vs. cerebral cortex. Thanks!Biasing the transistor or tube correctly is key to getting the correct sonics ... | |
