kingnothing Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hello Friends, I've never owned a preamp but notice most of you have one. I just have a yamaha receiver and an adcom amp. Now, please don't laugh (too hard) but what does the preamp do for you ? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggerIsBetter Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It is largely a redundant devise that adds coloration and distoration for swtiching and matching convience. Still, most people still need and use them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I still haven't heard a concrete answer regarding the ST-70 and the squeezebox digital music streamer. Digital and tubes? I know if I post this enough times somebody will answer. Do I need a preamp if the receiver has a volume control? Come on guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never do without a good linestage ever again. Many of us old posters have used analog variable CD player output and passive linestages; I never liked the congested soundstage and less than lifelike realism.

Speedball Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 How will it sound??????? Probably much, much, much, much, much, better. I'll let you know for sure if I ever get the opportunity to buy a tube preamp from www.juicymusicaudio.com . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
