RE: Does the HK Citation II Craze NEED a preamp?

As long as all your sources are "line" level, a passive control center is fine working into a "Deuce". Unlike many other amps, the I/P impedance is high enough to allow comfortable use of 50 Kohm controls.

If you go passive, keep the cables between control center and amp short and LOW capacitance. Unshielded, braided, construction yields the lowest capacitance.

Obviously, LP playback requires a phono preamp.
