No preamp in system

 

I want to point out how the perception of our equipment changes over time. I’m getting so use to the sound of my system without a preamp (which is out for repair) to the point that I’m accepting it as good sound.  It reveals something about our hobby.  When we get new equipment we often say “let it break in.”  And lo and behold, it sounds much better over time.  Is it that were really fooling ourselves, and that it’s simply a matter of us getting use to it?

Just food for thought.

A great end result!  Glad everything worked out so well.

By the way, I may have missed it, what was causing your problem with the preamp?

I turned the preamp on one day and all I got was a low tone emanating from the speakers.

RV, sorry, my question was not worded correctly.  I was curious what was the component of your preamp that had to be replaced that caused your preamp to not work correctly?

Not my business anyway, just curiosity and again glad you are back up and running.

Jetter,

I have to confess, I wasn’t really listening to the technician when he told me what was wrong.  I was so happy to get it back.  It went right over my head.  Sufficed to say he did a real overhaul of the unit.  Sorry I can’t provide more information.  Maybe I’ll call and find out, and get back to you.

RV,

Please don't bother, I am not electronics savvy and wouldn't understand anyway.  Sounds like you are good to go for years ahead.  Again, just glad everything worked out well.
