    Deciding on Permanent Amp + Utilizing Attenuators Between Tube Pre-Amp and Amplifier

    Hi guys, I recently picked up a pair of Shure A15AS XLR attenuators (set to -15db) to run between my tube pre and solid state power amp. The amp is a loaner from a good friend that I may purchase but it’s much more ~typical audiophile~ than anything I’ve ever considered before. My speakers...

    Advice on an MM phono pre

    Hello, first post in a very long time. I recently upgraded my integrated amp from a Marantz PM5004 to a Classe CAP 151 (huge leap), which doesn't have an integrated phono pre, and I'm looking for some advice on what to get in the $300 range. Some options I've been looking at are the Schiit Mani...
