If you are just using one source and your amps don't present a wicked load to drive I would highly recommend the Placette Audio passive volume control. It is very transparent and neutral and really shines with SACD and other high resolution sources. It can't hurt to try it, it is factory direct with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you want something to color the sound look into some tube units like the PV10/3A/etc.
What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?
Hi All,
I've got to finally break down and buy a pre-amp. Any suggestions on which sounds best? I listened to the Adcom GFP-750 and it sounded pretty nice. Please use that as a reference point and go from there. (Just as good for less money....better for a little more?)
I'd like to know about both SS AND Tube pre's. I'm definitly interested in good VALUE too (not necessarily low price, but want good bang for the buck). I don't need bells and whistles (not even a remote) and only need it for one source (SACD-CD).
Thanks for your comments and Happy Listening!
