Can I connect my source directly to my power amp?

Your analogies miss the point as non of them is trying to recreate a facsimile of an original but is intended to be enjoyed on its own merits.

The music itself is what we are aiming to enjoy and a good hi fi is meant to offer a high degree of fidelity to the original. Not provide a non artist approved re-mix!

What I'm not sure about is whether this philosophy is consistent with Quad's, with all their filter controls in the 44 preamp. I think that the quad idea is that the recording may contain distortion which a preamp can remove, and the result is better reproduction of the music.

I should say I never use the filters unless I'm listening to a poor transfer of an LP, but I do use the tilt and the bass lift.
