I would think the Peachtree/Azur combo will sound better.
You are welcome, and good luck!
Stereo Amp w/t optical for Dynaudio DM 2/26
I think I will do the peachtree solution with the azur as you suggest - there is one on here... I also found this : http://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/products/tx-8050-43158.html but the networking reviews are poor - everything else is good though. Im torn...too tired to think. Ill sleep on it. Tls49 - thanks for taking the time to help me. |
After doing a fair amount of research I think that I have 2 simple options.A 3rd option would be an amp with onboard DAC, like the Decco 65, and a separate phono preamp like these, http://www.project-audio.com/main.php?prod=phonoboxmm&cat=boxes&lang=en http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/azur-551p-moving-magnet-mm-phono-pre-amplifier . |
Hi Tls49, The sound from my current setup sounds strained and weak - kind of like throwing a sausage down a hallway, it feels like there is a lot of space that isn't being utilised. I heard a lot of amps as i was testing speakers and the RX-V493 just sounds flat. Also - Yes - My PC can do USB to a amp but the Yamaha is pre-digital so doesn't support it. Thanks for responding.
