I am currently running a beresford caiman via the variable output section (digital attenuation I believe) straight into my power amp.
I am considering adding a quality pre-amp to the setup, not because i need more inputs, but purely for SQ enhancement (+ I am able to get the Primare PRE30 for 600GBP).
My system will differ in the following ways:
1. Analogue volume attenuation opposed to digital
2. A much higher quality preamplification stage
3. An extra unit in the audio chain, extra set of cables, etc.
I believe 1 and 2 will result in improvements, with 3 potentially introducing problems.
Does anyone have experience with this? overall will this give me an improved sound? I do plan on testing this (infact I have ordered the PRE30 as I can get rid of it without loss) and will share my impressions, however I wanted other peoples opinions.
