I went from Hafler separates to the NAD T163 Preamp with a 218THX and the clarity is just astounding. I am running the front mains through an Audio Control Richter Scale for base EQ and crossover to the mains and out to the sub amp (Hafler). The T163 is the most user friendly pre/pro I have seen out there, and I looked at them all. The sound beats the Rotel by a long shot. Very detailed and percise.
