Hi,
I'm a long time lurker and really starting to get my system put together now. I recently got some VTV Purifi Bridged Monoblocks and have been test driving them for a couple of days now. I'm really impressed so far but have questions about a preamp. I am currently using a Pro-ject Stereo Box RS as the preamp for now, which was my integrated amplifier before the monoblocks showed up, but it does seem to introduce a small amount of hiss into the system. Not sure if it is the tube stage causing this or something else. I'm looking at a Schiit Freya+ or maybe a Benchmark LA4. I know these Forums like to avoid preamps in general but since I have a turntable and a DAC I'll need something for source selection and volume control. Just curious what others think. Thanks
