Why a line preamp?


It's been my understanding that the best component is a straight wire. Further, before the the advent of the phono a preamp was not required. All that was needed was a volume control. Now with the reduced usage of the phono we find we must have the line stage preamp. Where's the straight wire philosphy? Why do we need anything more than a volume control and selector switch? Today I connected my McIntosh tuner directly into my amp since the tuner does have a volume control. It sounded better.

You could place a free wanted ad here for a Line Drive & see if anyone comes out of the woodwork? I have seen these up for sale occasionally so keep watching the ads. I do know of a dealership who had one in the used room for quite awhile, but dunno if it's still available. Holm Audio 630-663-1298
