Re: Is there a real benefit to preamps or two channel amps in HT?


I have seen posts about sound quality discussion that caught my attention. SQ is not about listening tests or better DAC or whatever. SQ refers to fidelity with regards the input signal. An amp that distorts the output the least will be provide the best SQ. This cannot be determined by listening tests or mood (what sounds good to your ears today might be unappreciated tomorrow), but measurements.


Yamaha RX-V2500, Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 Fronts, Wharfedale Diamond CM Center, Diamond DFS Surround and rear, Behringer FBQ 2496, Dual RL-P18s 625L LLTs, Dual TA-2400 Pro (2 * 2000 W Amp), Samsung HD870 DVD player, Carada BW 16:9 106" screen, Epson TW-2000, 60 Gb PS3

- "You can never have too much headroom" (talking about bass)
- "you can never have too big a screen" (talking about still pictures)
