So, an Audio Buffer is a preamp without a volume control, right ?
Did I get it properly ?
In such a case, if you already have a preamp (or an integrated amp)
what could possibly be the advantage of putting a second preamp in the
circuit ?

They're really opposites. A buffer provides current gain, while a
passive attenuator provides a loss.
You could argue that the problem is that there are no
I'll admit, I don't get it. Every line-level source should have a low
(eg 100R) output Z, no?
Can anyone give an example of actual products that would benefit from
this? Perhaps old tube gear...
