Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig?

I will venture that multiple speakers suggests multiple systems suggests multiple preamps. Now maybe you want different prints for different recording methodologies I’ll say that I supposed to different music because like rock tends to be nasty and bright so having a different preamp for that might make some sense but overall yeah if you have two systems you need to print ups but one is however tiny ly better than the other

@oldrooney I think there are not many preamps that DO NOT color the sound to a large degree. It seems to my ears that the more expensive the preamp the more the color. Obviously, people like this and the gear could be sold for more money. That is not how I hear it so my wallet is happy.

These are the only preamps I owned that did not color the sound too much.

Benchmark HPA4, LA4, and Topping pre90. The Topping pre90 is a PIA to use and pair with amps. The Benchmark preamps are my fav's.

I use 3 stereo amplifiers, 6 floor standers and 3 subs. One preamp controls  2 Mac MC252 amps and the second controls an Anthem STR and 3 SVS subs.. Being able to control the subs separately really works great in my situation.

An Amp should have 2 sets of inputs.  This would make you happy and also provide an HT bypass for those who need it.

@yyzsantabarbara I would have loved to see the full rig!  Did you use type of splitter-box?

(Per chance, a Rush fan?)
