Re: Which Pre?
Elekit has 4 inputs the Pass B1 only has 2.
I only need 2 as my DAC handles all digi inputs, so 1 o/p from DAC and 1 from Phono stage.
Both around the same age. -

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I was using a Copland CSA29 up until I decided to build a First Watt M2 clone, the M2X from DIYAudio.
Pure class A and only 25 watts into 8 ohms, more than enough in my small area. -
