Hey all, 509x owner here who was/is recently pondering separates. Considered keeping this as the pre and while it seems wasteful, it might make sense. If i'm not mistaken the Luxman C900 preamp doesn't include a phono pre which would be one benefit.
@sdavada What speaker are you driving with the combo? What happens to the meters when 509x is just a pre?
Thanks,
EW
