I had a Sunfire Reference Preamp in my system for about a month. I had it matched with A B&k Ref 4420. Voices were hard sounding, highs seemed to roll off, transients seemed soft. I was also told that perhaps the specs were not a good match for the B&K. I put a PT3 MK2 from B&K back in my system with much smoother rsults.
When your preamp doesn't match your amp
From what I've gathered, there are some great amps (e.g. Pass' Aleph) which are quite finicky about the preamp they're connected with. I understand this is typically tied to an impedance mismatch, but what I don't understand is what does this *sound* like?
Could someone describe the symptoms of a poor preamp/amp connection?
Thanks in advance,
