[quote user="Quickben"]Well, 22 replies and only 1 that attempts to answer my question (thanks, JoelSim
). I only mentioned the Marantz/Arcam to illustrate my choices, my actual question was: What is the audible difference between a integrated amp and a pre/power combo ?[/quote]
better everything realy, a preamplifier is an electronic amplifier which precedes another amplifier to prepare an electronic signal for further amplification or processing the function of a preamp is to amplify a low level signal to line-level,and to control volume and inputs so removing this froom the power amp improves alot of things( bass treble clarity sound stage the lot) that's due to less interference with the eletronic conponents from the power amp am i correct Andrew?
