AA Family. I was browsing old threads and I really enjoyed the topic of this one.

I'm now hot on the trail for a re-amplifier upgrade, and it all seems like Voodoo to me. I am a believer that Pr-amplification is necessary, and improves the sound. Mainly curious about the "how" is the pre-amp the heart and soul of the system, and a major influencer on what we hear.

In other words, as I shop for a D'agostino Momentum HD preamp (and thanks to this forum, I have some good leads on where to get a used one), how/why does that sound so much better than say a Audio Research REF6?

I'm all for buying good gear...just curious (ahead of spending nice car money on a preamp) how this works-
