Often overlooked but never unimportant, the preamplifier plays a central role in the character and performance of a high-end system. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore how a great preamp shapes dynamics, preserves signal integrity, and brings life and dimensionality to the music. From gain structure to input stage design, discover why the preamp isn’t just a volume control—it’s the beating heart between source and amplifier, and a key to musical immersion.
