I have a similar system to yours and just dug my 565 back out of my closet and put it back into my system and I don't know what I was thinkig before. The pre amp is amazing,but it is a crime not to connect a turntable to it even a cheap one will sound fantastic.I have used the exact same wire,the type 4 and the rubys with great results as well but the aq inter connects can be a little too forward and overly revealing at times.I like the smoothness of the monster 350Is.It is their full range single winding design so the time correctness is more superior to their multiple winding design in my opinion...more neutral and laid back than the rubys you might think you have lost some of the magic at first but you wont experience as much listener fatigue if you know what I mean and if you are using thost cables with that preamp you will.
Adcom 565 pre-amp fit here?
I would very much appreciate opinions on utilizing an Adcom 565 pre-amp in the following system:
NAD 512 (CD source)
Sony 360 (DVD source - just stereo)
Acurus A250 (amp)
B&W DM100 (speakers - been using them since the 80's)
Audioquest Type4 (speaker wire)
Audioquest Ruby (interconnect)
The system is apartment based - primarily music, with stereo movie viewing.
Really anxious to replace a Carver C-1 pre-amp!
I've always felt the speakers were pretty clean, the Acurus just a tad forward in the highs, and the NAD a bit warm and mellow... Thoughts?
Thank you
