Share your preamp inputs!

Didn’t see anything like this in the search so let’s do this. Share your preamp and then list what you have connected to each input. I’ll go first.

Edit: say whether each input is bal or SE

I have two preamps in the system. First is a Decware ZTPRE, and I’m only using one input of three balanced–it is connected to my DSD which plays from DMP and NuWave Phono Converter. (This preamp is connected via balanced output to a Decware ZBIT which is feeding via single-ended output a Decware ZROCK2 which feeds via single-ended output) the second preamp, a Decware CSP3 with the 25th Anniversary Mods. I’m only using one of the two single-ended inputs on this preamp, that output feeds the Decware SE84UFO3 Monoblocks with the 25th Anniversary Mods.

This may be cheating because they’re the inputs on my Conrad Johnson CA200 integrated but that’s kinda sorta the same thing, right?

I have a DS-2 that I used in my office system, really nice preamp and Don was great to work with and customize to your needs!

I am thinking about a 300B integrated for my office and the DS-2 currently resides in a closet…
