Ok

Typically, all gain stages add distortion components to the signal. Do you know of any perfect ones? I find it logical to use additional gain and/or buffer stages only when they are needed. It seems the reviewer from Widescreen published on your website of the SCPA 1 agrees with my first point. And likewise disagrees with your commentary regarding tube equipment finding an Audio Research preamp musically superior to your stuff.

"As you might expect, the $10,000 vacuum tube ARC preamp sounds harmonically richer and more detailed while presenting a more three-dimensional image".

Indeed, he does give your (former) product a nod for "it seemed to add virtually no objectionable colorations" and does well in the bang-for-the-buck quotient. Well done.

I would quickly acknowledge, however, that if indeed your pre to power amp run were 50 to 100 feet as you indicate was your design criteria, then I would agree that you will need a preamp. In that case, I'm sure my Audio Research unit would have worked out better than the attenuators in my system.
