I use two processors in my system. I have a Krell Showcase for HT & a Luxman CL 38U SE for music. W/my Bryston 3B Cube I hook up the balanced outputs to the Krell showcase and the unbalanced outputs to the Luxman tube integrated. I just hit the balanced and unbalanced switch in back of the amp to power whichever processor I'm using.
Integrated Amp or preamp to separate Lumin T2 from home theater system
I have a home theater system and my receiver is an Anthem 1120. I use a Moon Sim 330A amp for my left and right speakers and the Anthem 1120 for the rest on my 7.2.2 system. I have a Lumin T2 music streamer and I stream Qobuz and also my converted CD's. To get the most out of my Lumin I was thinking of separating it from my home theater 1120 receiver and having it run with either an integrated amp or its own preamp while using the Sim 330A amp. Any opinions on whether it would be better to go with a good integrated amp or buy a preamp and stay with the Sim 330A amp

Maybe take a look at this integrated with HTB https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisacd30-kinki-studio-ex-m1-stereo-integrated-amplifier-exm1-remot... The sound of your Lumin will be better for music(XLR) Your Anthem receiver will use RCA inputs.( Bypass ) for video. You sell the Sim 330 just my two cents. |
You can use the Lumin T2 with your Sim 330 ( Leedh volume control) And use the RCA inputs of the Sim 330 with the Anthem receiver But do not forget to put the jumpers on the XLR inputs of the Sim 330 each time you change sources . If I understand the Sim 330 well. A poster wrote not long ago that he did not like the sound of his LuminT2 direct to his amplifier using Leedh . He prefered going with a preamp. |
