Has anyone used the Primaluna Dialogue integrated as a Preamp only?

samzx12-

you must have a special edition model

You can you the HT bypass for an external preamp out.
I use it for my Mac MR71 FM tuner.

The only Special Edition I know of is the HP version of the Dialogue Premium. 

Has anyone used an external preamp with the PL?

samzx12- my response was just a goof

I actually purchased a used PL a Dialogue Premium Pre with intentions of selling my HP intg. and going HP monoblocs.

Using it through the HT bypass, I heard subtle gains, although someone putting on their audiophile hat and listening,  perhaps would hear more improvements? 

No doubt had I went that route,  there would be sonic gains, but I'm satisfied with th HP Integrated and what it does, and my WALLET is happy.  

I thought it was a goof but I played it safe  :)

Point taken and I appreciate your input :)  I was originally wanting to try a ss amp to mix things up and have a little fun. But since i don't have that Special Edition I guess my idea is out the door. Like you said, the WALLET is happier.
