Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!

Black Friday got me! I just placed orders for a Mini GaN5 power amplifier from ClassD Audio and from Buchardt a I150 integrated amplifier......Looking into the latest GaN technology and the Buchardt I150 should prove to be my forever PREamplifier. All the reviews rave about the amazing preamplifier, room correction, eq and more......Speakers will be Magnepan LRS, KEF LS50 Metas and Pensil 10....Should be fun!

So you bought an integrated amp to use only as a preamp? Did I read that right?

Just keep in mind that most integrated amps, especially budget models, use cheap alps pots for attenuation. This is a bottleneck for sound quality. The attenuator isn’t everything, but it’s a big thing.
