I'm not a techie geek who only grasps what has been proven via DBT or ABX. I have heard some excellent preamps such as the C-J ART II, Burmester 808, VTL 7.5, etc, but not in systems that would otherwise support merely using attenuators.We are typically talking about 2 orders of magnitude (100x) difference here.
With my main system, the factor is six and a third: 4000 ohms vs. 600 ohms driving 137k ohms. Likewise, my GamuT source is 4 volts driving a 1.3 volt sensitivity amp. As has been suggested before, my experience suggests the relative success is highly system dependent.
I will continue to use my ears as the primary criteria. Thanks for your comments.
