I am using passive preamp in my system, works very well. There was just a thread on this in the last few days "Why do preamps improve sound of CDP?" It is a matter of taste and system.
How many are using Amp to CD with variable...
I would like to discuss and learn more about the pros and cons of using CDP with variable out directly to an amp and skipping pre-amp.
I have been run such setup for most of the time with various CDP (marantz, cary) and with different amps and always like those.
I now have a pre-amp only because I needed to add additional components to my system.
Can't really realize any audible benefits.
Can those with more experience provide thier input...
thanks
