The analog preamp in the Cascade is no afterthought. It is fantastic… it does nothing at all, just as a good preamp should!

I’ve just finished dialing my turntable with a new cartridge… it hasn’t gotten much use since I setup the Cascade. I’m routing my phono preamp through the Cascade. It is wonderful!

Audio memory and changing multiple things at once is always suspect but I think it is better than the C53 it replaced. Very clear.

The new preamp in the Cascade has a lot of improvements for the analog inputs. I would expect you to hear some improvements there, so glad the results reflect it. The new Preamp is more than 4X the size as it is a top priority for the Cascade Design.
