What's the deal with pre-amplifiers‪?‬ Darko.Audio podcast

With Vinnie Rossi.

What is a pre-amplifier? What are the differences between active and passive designs? Do volume controls matter? What about tubes? Do I even need a pre-amplifier?

I put these questions to high-end audio manufacturer Vinnie Rossi in the hope of lifting the veil on perhaps the most misunderstood component in the audio chain.
