I use 2 pre in one of my systems. Have a McIntosh C52 and utilize a fixed output from the C52 into a C20. It provides the best of both worlds- modern solid state and vintage tube. And both can operate driving different pairs of speakers individually or together. The DAC in the C52 can be used and tone controls on C20 used simultaneously.
Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig?
I see lots of guys with more than one set of speakers, Dac’s and turntables…what about Preamps? I’m not ready to part ways with my Levinson 380S but I’ve been looking hard at the Allnic L-1500 fully balanced tube linestage. I’m thinking I could stack it on top of the Levinson and just swap the XLR’s when I want to listen to it.
