I feel a good amp with lots of power is the backbone behind good music. Those integrated ones just don't seem to cut it for me. So in order to make it work, I need a preamp to hook up a cd player to an amp?
separate system for just music?
Is it a common practice to have a totally different system for your music vs. hometheater? Right now I have only one system that i use for both but recently I've been playing with the idea of getting a very nice amp for just stereo music. I have lots of speakers and can easily dedicate a pair just for music. If i bought a nice amp, and only want to use a cd to play the music, what else do i need to complete the system? Do i need a preamp? I have so far, speakers and a cd player. What else do i need to complete this? an amp and preamp? i want to make it as simple as possible. thx for your help.
