I guess if you've got things well matched electrically, say a tape deck with a volume/output control mating well with a pair of monoblocs, or a single stereo amp, you could get by, same with a digital volume control on a CDP.I have a bunch of different sources, phonostage, SACD/CD player, CDP/recorder and I've had an external DAC that I've fiddled with, so a preamp with 4-5 inputs suits my needs.
Since my Sony SCD-1, my Alesis Masterlink 9600, my Sonic Frontiers Phono 1 SE don't have volume controls on them, I do need my Blue Circle 3.1 Galatea preamp.
Now, in my second system, my Nakamichi RX-505 tape deck and my Dynaco FM1 tuner have volume controls, so I could dispense with the Bottlehead Foreplay, but the Denon DCD-1600 DVD~Audio player does not, so I really need that preamp there, to be sure.
