@ozzy62 That's a legit question. Both the 518 and 508 don't really pass the preamp section, so isn't adding another PREAMP just adding more stuff into the signal chain?
Preamp for a Line Magnetic i518?
I am interested in adding a preamp to my system. Currently using a Line Magnetic 518 integrated 845 SET. I listen mostly to vinyl with a Chinook phono amp and VPI Prime turntable with Lyra Delos. Speakers are PSB Imagine T3. Any thoughts on adding a preamp and suggestions? Partial to tubes but let me know if there is any ss that would possibly be a better match? Budget approx $3500. I appreciate any/all advice....thanks.
