Hey Stephen - thought I would move this over to the P1 thread (from the System Integration thread) - your earlier reply re: using the P1 as the system preamp is below -
Question: Do you use the P1 volume control ('LEEDH') also for analog inputs? Have you compare to traditional volume control for analog? Linn does similar for their Klimax systems.
"Yep! Via RCA from the EAR 324 output to one of the P1's RCA inputs. In this application, the P1 functions "merely" as a preamp. Annnd.. it's one a helluva preamp. I have an amazing preamp, the fully dual-mono First Sound Presence Deluxe tube preamp with Paramount SE upgrade and dual-mono external power supplies, and...I use the P1 as my pre.
This configuration lets me toggle between digital music content from the Roon music server in the remote server room via optical to the streamer/DAC section or via the phono stage with the Lumin remote (which is really beautiful, BTW, and made in Austria, IIRC.)"
