You can’t fix a crappy amp with a better pre-amp the same way you can’t fix a crappy pre-amp with a better amp. Every component plays a role formulating the end result. The key is to get a clean sound signal from start to finish. Quality cables transfer the signal between interfaces without introducing noise or loss. The bottom line is crappy in, crappy out.
Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable
Will a quality preamp make my system sound better? And speaker cable...seems like everything I read people are split on this subject. My local hifi store brought up a good point; they said that the only thing between your amp and your speakers are the cable. Very good point and I'm inclined to believe it. Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want cheap cable either. Thoughts/ recommendations? Thank you in advance.
