purpose of a preamp?
Is there any reason for me to use the preamp feature of my LD MK III for my m-audio av40 speakers? Im not exactly too sure what the purpose of a preamp is. Based on the wikipedia description (which isn't too helpful), I don't need it since the gamma-2 provides a line out?- bridge8989
