Someone school me on this stuff


Hey all,

I am very new at this, but would really love to get into it.

I was hoping someone could give me a layman's breakdown of all this.

Benefits to integrated? Benefits to separates?

Let's say I had a turntable, and a CD player. What would I need to make a system. Perhaps an example of integrated as well as separates.

Thanks,

Kyle

Unlike most integrated amps, separates give you the option of trying different preamps or power amp combinations to reach the desired sound. I have had a few integrated amps and was not completely satified with them. However integrated amps are space savers and it is one less pair of interconnects to worry about. I'm sure if you throw enough money at it, you could come up with an integrated amp that challenges separates.
