What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?

I don't get it. I ask a legitimate question about help on picking a preamp for my Pass Labs amp. I get maybe 10 responses. Some other guy who apparently is not a Pass Labs fan, has a thread on Amps with lights/meters and which sound better? He gets 50 comments.. Is this an example of reality TV's effect on society? Maybe someone will become a hit on here telling fart jokes.. Just something to think about!

Mr. Al..it was a light hearted thread about a light hearted thread. but as in all things, I believe there to be truth to it.

Active preamps are a dying breed, sources these days with multiple inputs high output, and output stages as good if not better now, are taking their place with their own volume control ability.

So your saying, a PS Audio Gain Cell Dac or similar would be a good choice? How about a Schiit Saga?

Maybe something with unity gain. I have a Dodd preamp (no longer made) with unity gain driving a Pass Labs Aleph J and it is much, much better than a Schiit Saga I used to have. There’s a thread on the Hornshoppe Truth preamp here and it has unity gain and can work with any source impedance and pretty much drive anything
