Threshold SA/3

  • Hello

ive inherited a Threshold SA/3 amplifier.
im not very familiar with audio equipment. First if it’s an amp it will need a pre amplifier. What pre-amp is recommended. To add to confusion I only see speaker connection yet I see it listed as a preamplifier but how do you connect your turntable tape deck ect behind with so little output/input. I believe it’s a 50 watts per channel amplifier therefore I must get a pre-amp. I have a Pioneer spec 1....are they compatible? Thank you helping out I hope I LL have more interesting and intelligent questions in the future...hey you got to start somewhere when you don’t know much. Thank you in advance

Wow!
Wish I had inherited one of those.
Treat it right and it will really perform.
Meaning: keep the air circulating around it. You should avoid fans blowing heat back onto the guts. Cabinets/furniture may need modification for more air flow.
Lucky you! Enjoy it when you finally get it going.

That Threshold is a basic power amp. You can use that Spec 1 preamp. All your components get hooked up to the preamp! Preamp output to amp input.
