Separate Phono Pre - $$ before I will hear a SIGNIFICANT difference vs. integrated?

I believe, in the context of either separate or integrated, my comments were 'true enough'.wikiUltimately the New Orthophonic curve was disclosed in a publication by R. C. Moyer of RCA Victor in 1953.[6] He traced RCA Victor characteristics back...

remote balance, not common, is a feature I find quite important, for some individual songs on CDs and/or LP, especially best of, compilations.I make very slight tweaks left/right to specific songs, it is amazing how much everything (not just the p...
