Running direct is very close[Using XLR to XLR.I lose a bit of punch/slam{On Rock CD's},not as noticable on mellower music,I guess because of large power supply in my BAT Preamp.Check my system for more info.Another fun thing I do is use both the SE and XLR outputs to my pre and switch them with the preamp selector depending on the needs of the current music being played.Also turn on at least a few hours before Serious listening.Takes a few hundred hours to break in.Sounds better than any Sony straight out of the box..My was lightly modded by Dan at Modwright.com if you want to take it to another level.Which Tubes does yours use??JD
