The sound signal is your car and pre amplifier and amplifier are two part of highway. We will experience traffic problems when lane numbers shrinked, that happens with the signal. It could be that the pre is more important, it could be that the amplifier is more important depending how good the other one. General speaking, the weak one decide.
Amp vs Preamp which is more important?
I am considering changing my amp/preamp combination and as I think about budget, I am wondering if one of these components should get more focus. My other question is if these components, even separates can never be considered in isolation but are always part of a pair working together.
I thought there must be a thread on this, but I couldn't find it. Feel free to respond with it here and I will shut this thread down.
Thanks!
