Help Looking For a Balanced Preamp

Using a Schitt Saga, going straight to the amp, and then comparing the effect of switching to my tube preamp, provides me with the answerThe Schiit Saga is a tube preamp with unity gain?Cheers George   
Class D Technology
That is trollingOnly in your mind, because you refuse to accept that the higher switching frequency has yet to be realized, and you can't hear anything wrong with it where it is at the present. Even though companies like Technics are showing the w...
