Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: That's what I used to believe as well

How do you define "really nice"?

I look at all of this from a strictly technical point of view.

A circuit, any circuit, will add noise and distortion.

A line stage preamp will not, can not, make things technically better unless needed to satisfy impedance and drive requirements.

If the source meets those requirements on it's own then no line stage preamp will make things technically better.

Adding technically un-needed circuitry to a system can only make things worse.
