Some power amps prefer an active pre-amp in front of them and some don't care...you need to find what works in your system. There is NO rule that says passive level control always sounds better than active...it doesn't work that way.
Going through one (properly designed) extra op-amp or valve isn't going to change the fundmentals of what has already passed through or been generated by hundreds of the things! -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30852 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
