| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Not to be argumentative, but I don't think that this analogy works. Maybe a kidney? | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Absolute neutrality shouldn't be the goal (and is unattainable) Musical enjoyment is what we are after - if you can still recognize the voice of your favorite soprano / tenor, it's all good.

| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? both are relatively rare cases and the majority of pres between attenuated dacs and power amps add distortion and little else @antigrunge2 Depends on how quiet it is, but at say -40dB, I think that might be 1/100th, so if the output impedance ... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Which is the ultimate reason for not using a pre when the DAC has a decent - and preferably analogue attenuator.

| Phono Stage Upgrade I currently have the Sutherland Little Loco, which has been not given me any issues at all. However, with my current setup of a Palmer 2.5i and the Audio Orgami arm plus a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge, I am wondering if I am missi... | |
| different people may hear the same sound differently... Hearing is the most personal of the senses Maybe you forgot the sense of touch? Or taste. There is even a song about them. | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? holmz, your english seems good, no second language issues, so why argue the point?... ’universally’ means just that... I an native in yankee and 1/2 way there in Australian English 😎 “Universally: is like referring to the World Series, which i... | |
