Are there any mono block preamps? Why do companies offer expensive mono block power amps but not mono block preamps? Wouldn’t the same advantages be gained at the preamp level as well?
Most of the advantage of going monobloc is to reduces cross-talk (channel separation). Monobloc is of more advantage when there are big voltages running around, like in a power amp.
The volume control requirement in a pre-amp is an inconvenience that will put of many aspirants.
I had a mono Gryphon phono stage back in the 90's. I think it was simply called The Gryphon. Four-piece unit Separate left and right units with a wooden knob on the front of each unit and two separate power supplies It was a great sounding phono stage. Only one I have ever seen.
