Re: why is a DI not a pre?

Why argue? A "Preamp" as we understand the term in the context of
audio devices is a box or a circuit within a box that performs a
specific function, and that function is to provide positive gain.


Besides, there's no such thing as "negative gain." There's gain and
there's attenuation.
