Hi all
I am thinking of buyong a WOO GES. Am I being dumb, or do we connect a WOO GES via input RCA with a pre-amp out, or direct to a source via tape or no pre-amp at all for best sonics?
I have a SRM-313 now, that connects the normal way, i.e. preamp out to RCA in on the Stax, then set the volume on the Stax amp at full, and use the volume adjustment on the pre-amp.
Thing is, if I need to set the WOO GES at say 12 oclock volume, I will technically have 2 x volume stages in the sound chain - not good. I presume I can't set the WOO at full as that would overpower the tubes and strain the unit, resulting in loss of sound quality? If that is so, I am wondering if I stay with my old Stax SRM-313 fed by my tubed Audio Note pre-amp which is great quality anyway.
Any feedback would be great. BTW I use Lambda Nova Signatures circa 2000 (brown type).
