bossobass,

Those old stereo preamps in your closet must be indeed nice. Integrating a 2 channel preamp into a HT system could be cumbersome though without unity gain bypass...even harder to use if some of those old preamps don't have remote controls

Hey, were you at the NYC show last May? I was there, the multichannel from that VonSch/Spectron room was quite nice indeed. Of course, most of the gear there was shown in 2 channel!

If one preamp has a better analog section and/or lower noise floor than another, you don't think that could affect dd/dts sound quality? Or the quality of analog sources such as hi-rez 5.1 sacd/dvd-a?
