RE: Do affordable multichannel preamps exist any more?

I run my Oppo directly into my amplifiers. When I want to listen to LPs, I just switch the cables for the front channels.

I tried it with preamps, but preferred the sound directly into the amps. I tried a Conrad Johnson MET-1 multichannel tubed preamp but there too preferred the sound direct into the amps.

You can do level and distance adjustments in the Oppo, but in my system the speakers are equidistant and levels are within one db so I use unprocessed DSD from the Oppo, which to my ear usually sounds better (although I must admit I'm not always sure which I prefer) . Levels can also be adjusted with high quality attenuators if necessary, which I also have, but don't currently need to use.
