Why do you need a whole seperate box to "step up low level signals"? Why can't an amplifier step those signals up on its own? To me it's like feeding pre-chewed grass to a cow.
To me, functionality is the only valid argument. Just a switcher, attenuator and a phono section if needed. If you don't need this, then you don't need a preamp. If you think you do, then your system is not well matched. It's just an expensive tone control.I've owned Audio Research, Aesthetix, Shindo and others and none have sounded as good as nothing.Just my 2 cents.
