I agree with all of these posts, in that, what sounds good to the listener is best. However, the original quote said that no pre-amp is best. But, if the Transporter does not have a pre-amp how can it drive my power amp? It must have a pre-amp (but no pre-amp is good, according to CliveB). And a follow on is... how on earth can I just unplug the Transporter from my power amp then plug in into my pre-amp and it sounds fine.... i.e it does not blow it up! The signals levels for a feed to a pre-amp and a power amp vary by a magnitude.... but I don't have to tell the Transporter what it's feeding, it just seems to know. How can that be? MC
