I was just curious....I have a real nice SA 8500 that I use a the preamp in my main system. The 8500 is a very feature rich piece and has so far really met all of my expectations. Anyone else out there doing something simular??? :scratch2:
My general hifi setup is:
- a vintage (SS) integrated amplifier (or receiver) as control unit/preamp; output signal from headphone jack
- a small tube amplifier as next stage
- a modern SS power amp to control the large speakers.
Sound is very satisfactory. I can not stand modern sound quality - is terrible.
I sometimes throw a SA-7500II in the mix of the Patio system for BBQ's and Yard party's.
It helps to have the extra plug in's.
If it would fit my living room rack I would take out the EQ.
