| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? Glad to hear Pass agrees with me. Now if I could only afford any of his equipment.... Yes well he is a "business man", and does make preamps, there’s money to be made there also, that’s just what you pay for knowledge and you’ve got to say if you... | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? There are reasons many like what they hear through a preamp (or a unity gain buffer) better than through no preamp or through a passive. Let’s hear your technical reasons Mitch on this.If you quote someone you need to put before it Quote:Nelson P... | |

But it does do DSD, but then there a few di... | |
