Most of us here have heard, or heard of, the benefits of cooking cables...

Posted by kenster on April 25, 2010 at 15:58:20:

and this idea may belong in the Tweakers Asylum but what about cooking passive preamps??
It occurred to me that since I use a passive preamp which utilizes an autoformer for attenuation, there is no actual gain above what the CD player can put out, it would be beneficial to cook the small range of autoformer taps with the Audiodharma cable cooker 2.5 that I mostly use in my listening habits which are at the most 3 of the 24 available taps.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm thinking it would be beneficial but I may be overlooking something and would appreciate any thoughts, comments, questions or just plain ramblings from my fellow inmates.
