Can I go CD -> amp with no preamp?
I’m gradually building up my stereo system. It looks like I might have a CD player, an amp, and a pair of speakers for a little while. And the CD player happens to have a volume control on the remote. So can I just use these 3 pieces and listen to music for a while? Or do I somehow need a preamp or a preamp-processor? More equipment is on the way, in the coming months. But in the mean time, maybe this very simple setup would work, I’m thinking. (And if it would work, why don’t more people do it?)
Yes, I concur, and the sound will be better...
...without a preamp in the signal path. Less circuit = better sound (generally).
