| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I make the world best sound audio system with an integrated amp. My audio system will sound worse if I used a separate pre-amp and power-amp configuration system. Also, my system will sound worse if I used separate transport and DAC. Alex/Wavetouc... | |
| physiology and psychology of hearing larsman @mihorn - so you’re saying it’s physically impossible for a woman to be an ’audiophile’? I wouldn’t think they were mutually exclusive, but that’s just me. I said "a’philes (men) can alternating between 2 sounds faster and easily than ... | |
| A Question: What makes for Good Vinyl? sanctus555 One aspect that isn’t discussed too often. In order to to truly have that Analog Magic…I find the album needs to have originally been recorded to analog tape. Any newer albums that were recorded to digital lose that magic. I listen... | |

| At the top of the line is it really all that different? OP At the top of the line is it really all that different? No. Their sounds are over-rated. Listen to multi $million and low budget systems.
