Re: Parasound P-3 Preamplifier (SS)

I'm not here to attack you, but I find your statement interesting and it raises some questions in my mind. Why is there such a wide spread assumption that pre-amps are a much more critical component in the audio chain than power amps? The assumption seems to be that power amps have the easy job of increasing gain, while pre-amps have to deal with low level signals, equalization, variable gain, etc. where there is greater vulnerablility to noise, distortion etc. So why do you think pre-amps are given more credit than they deserve?
