Hi Steve,Thanks for the response. I've read about several cases (inlcuding yours) in which the addition of a transformer in the signal chain appears to make the sound more pleasant to listen to, and I find it intriguing.
The people at CineMag are indeed very nice to deal with.
I used to use only resistor-based stepped attenuators for volume control, and did not find any active pre, including the so-called buffered passive, that sounded as clean as the simple attenuators. Neverthelesss, recently I started using those cheap Panasonic and JVC digital receivers to biamp my main system and other projects and to drive a multi-channel system for SACD playback. This eliminates the need for any preamp or separate volume control. Perhaps I'm getting lazy, but it is nice to be able to control the volume using a remote control, and the digital amps really do not sound too bad.
Best,
Kurt
