Preamp SS to match class D amp
@vdotman I think you are perfectly right about synergy etc, spendor in theory is alter ego of my speaker on classic line, however you have floorstander ones. To add a Belcanto preamp for other 6000usd doesn’t make sense for me, I will end it up wi... 
Preamp SS to match class D amp
And now I know what is, the singer is well behind the instruments so this is the scene, they are not aligned on the stage. The huge separation doesn’t make the sound to melt together, I get rid of the ampli after one week 
Preamp SS to match class D amp
Now trying with Nad c 658 and streaming. I can say sound got better and the definition as well but the separation between instrument is so clinical and analytical that is not enjoyable. I think is the chip on the amp, I mean somehow is flat and no...

Preamp SS to match class D amp
Well I just tried with an old preamp I have, connection with rca. To make it sound I need to turn the knob at 3/4, I guess is beause of the rca connection... sound is as well flat, no depth, no rich, hope is the pre I connect and the rca that is n...

High end Class D amps?
Hello, somehow I am on similar situation.what I can say after listening many class d is to don’t rely too much on latest chip and this works as well for Dac but is the implementation that make big difference. There are three or 4 main chip manufac...

@georgehifi very good sense of observation:) and well appreciated advice.indeed I have Harbeth 40.1 and now a Belcanto to match. I read quite a lot on class d and being in contact with engineers who know personally the contributor or the Hypex mod... 
Hegel h590 or Accuphase e460 with Harbeth 40.3
For instance Harbeth P3esrs is a totally different product, small cabinet and great sound and great dynamics for the size. Super HL5+ is again different to Harbeth 40, has super tweeter and is fantastic for rock music and blues very engaging but n...

Thank you Atmasphere for the accurate explaination who add value to this post and as well to Mapman to report his experience with Belcanto. I tried Belcanto preamp with old version of chip that was Icepower and I didn’t like, sounds was compressed... 
Hegel h590 or Accuphase e460 with Harbeth 40.3
Low dynamics' with Hegel, this poster is a joker! well calm down Arafiq, I just expressed my opinion after listening the 360 with my old Harbeth, do you own Harbeth? If not then don’t comment on the match, I used to live in Uk and listen all the H...

I know AVM as I live nearby the Germany, probably the new products are better but previous ones not such big audiophile reputation at least in Europe and you have to add modules in the pasts taking up the price. Wondering if Pass or Ayres would fi... 
Preamp SS to match class D amp
Thanks but has just one analog input in xlr I need two as I will add a phono pre amp, then wich Dac chip is used? I guess has no streamer, probably is better to take things separately. Does any one tried a SS preamp with class D?
