"Holographic" presentation

Here's a question- what good are dual mono amps when you are using a stereo preamp?

My experience has been that as long as there is very good stereo separation, and the media contains the spatial cues necessary, you can get the holographic illusion. And it is an illusion because holographic suggests three dimensions, while our stereos are by definition 2 channel sources.

Krell KRS-1 Mono Block preamp, where the control section and power supply are in their own chassis as well, resulting in 4 separate boxes.

A neighbor has one.

As far as whether monoblock configuration is more relavant in an amp, whi knows. Some might say that the very low level signal encountered in a preamp are more fragile, and when you add in a phono stage, well, the amount of gain in a preamp is going to be a lot more than in an amp.

Which get's back to what we should be satisfied with- if it sounds good, it is good.

What brand was that? A buddy today just asked for an amp recommendation that did pornography well.

Damn, I used to own a CJ 17LS2. I guess I should have read the manual.

There was that pass through feature I never tried, but I thought it was a home theater feature.
