Ditch those DACs, Go Vinyl, go Vintage
My McIntosh preamps (prior SS C28, current Tube mx110z) have 3 adjustable inputs. But only one line level, AUX, the others are Phono 1 and Phono 2, both have RIAA eq in their circuit.
Tandberg TR-2080 let me adjust 2 phonos and a tape input I think.
In all cases, it involves 'extra' potentiometers in the circuit, not a purist favorite. Option to use for comparison, and then bypass filters, tone controls became popular to have but eliminate in-line controls, ascertain if you can hear any difference. Several pieces I have owned with 'bypass', or 'video circuits out' or 'display lighting' out, I don't hear any difference.
