Separates is the best way to go in terms of sound quality. I have five monoblocks, one for each channel and I couldn't be happier.
Using "pre-outs" of an integrated amp provide sound quality equal to a separate pre-amp?
Will using the "pre-outs" of an integrated to drive a basic power amp provide sound quality EQUAL to a separate quality pre-amp??
I have read that many pre-outs are just "op-amps" that channel an output signal to the amp, but are not equal to the output stage of a separate pre-amp, and therefore limit or hinder or limit the performance of the basic power amp. .
Trying to determine if it is worth it investing in a separate pre-amp for a BAT VK-200 amp
Would a quality pre-amp provide 15% to 2o% better sound?? Thanks
