Pre Amp
Posted in D. J. Equipment on 05/14/2009 06:48 am by admin
A separate pre amp really make a difference?
I have a Parasound HCA 1200 amplifier that I am driving with an old Pioneer receiver (-780) Silver face SX, analog. Driving the amplifier into the headphone jack. I'm thinking of getting a Carver or Adcom preamplifier. Do you think it will sound audible better? I'll tell you this, my speakers sound better way through the level is not sufficient to excite an amplifier and requires a preamp. (Amps Many have a built-in preamp and, depending on the input, so access or bypass.) Line level does not require a preamplifier. In fact, if you try to run level line in a pre-amplifier, all they do is distort the sound horrible. No if and or but's it. Why two different levels? The stronger, lline highest travel further with less degradation. But the weaker, lower-level microphone, they remain a better frequency response and the same distance. CD, DVD player, tape player, use line level. Some dishes also use old line level pads with ceramic cartridge needle. But for better reproduction of high quality vinyl, the better turntable cartridges used magnetic microphone level.
