Not necessarily. What you want to do is test your amp, by running RCA's from the Squeezey directly into the amp. *Make sure before you attempt this, that you turn the volume ALL THE WAY DOWN.* Once you have it connected, start turning the volume up. If you get to full volume, and it is still not loud enough for you, then you need a preamp. This will give you the additional gain. On the other hand, if it is way too loud at a very low level, then you may want to think about getting some passive attenuators. -- ezkcdude DIY projects page: http://www.cellandtissue.com/diy.html System: SB3->Derek Shek TDA1543/CS8412 NOS DAC->MIT Terminator 2 interconnects->Endler Audio 24-step Attenuators (RCA-direct)->Parasound Halo A23 125W/ch amplifier->Speltz anti-cables->DIY 2-ways + Dayton Titanic 10" subwoofer He's not hi-fi, he's my stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27685 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
