Yes, the concept of the "pre-amp" was invited to bring signals like LP carts and microphones to "line level". Most modern equipment already provides line level.. the only thing most pre-amps provide is a central knob, and a selector switch. If you're going to have a single source like a transporter, you might as well go direct to the amp. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30852 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
