Preamp for sure and the room at the same time. Get a preamp with room correction. Room correction done right helps you hear what your speakers were meant to sound like.
ROI. Where is money better spent?
Sorry if the category is not quite accurate, but i would like the opinion of the knowledgable crew here. I am shopping for a preamp and interconnects, source to pre, and pre to amp, balanced. I am not looking for any brand recommendation, but want to know that if i had some xtra money to spend, should it go into better cables or better preamp? Thanks and happy holidays!
