So if the goal is to add more depth and clarity to the sound, would it then serve almost the same purpose as a tube buffer, or maybe even a separate full-sized amp with gain control that you use further up the chain? Could you daisy-chain 2 or 3 pre-amps together?
Why Do We Use Preamps?
I'm a little confused about the concept of the pre-amp. Wouldn't the most faithful reproduction of the source material involve as few steps as possible?
I do understand that some prefer the richness and coloration provided by this or that component, but for a sound that is very high in fidelity to the original sound why doesn't it make more sense to just let your amplifier do the work, with a passive preamp to adjust the volume?
Thanks,
Dusty
