An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

If you feel like giving this a bit of a lift maybe you should try recapping the preamp with high quality capacitors such as Elna simics and/or Panasonic FC.

You could also look at the PSU circuit and regulators.

cheers Xoc1 excuse my ignorance in these matters,
The way i have this set up is :
cdp or playonHD! streamer thingy TO Dac TO preamp TO monobloks
so what does the pre do ? does it just pass thru what the work that the dac does onto the amps or does the preamp alter the sound at all ? really sorry for the poor terminology

The preamp in your set up is just being used as a buffered volume control,
The preamp probably blocks any DC and RF and ensures that the power amp is driven properly at any volume setting, by driving the signal with a low impedance to minimise losses due to the interconnect cables to the monoblocks.
