Yep, I use it for everything, even when I spin LPs. I have the EAR 324 connected to one of the P1's analog inputs, and use the P1 as my preamp. I set the Inspiration's volume to unity gain, and I use the P1's LEEDH volume control to set final output volume. It's the best "volume control" I've ever used. Can't remember specifically if I posted a reference to the LEEDH technology, which was developed in Europe, so I've linked it again here. That's what I really like about Lumin, they don't suffer from "not invented here" syndrome. If there's a best way to implement a technology or functon for their products, they just do it. Lumin just does not f*ck around. And..it shows in the quality and functionality of their products.
