I'm not sure, but I think a lot of the (passive pre amp) integrateds from Jolida have pre outs. norh.com has a cheap tube pre with two main outs. At the higher end, Manley, Rogue and Audio Research tube integrateds would have provisions for this, I would think. And smaller companies will sometimes modify jacks for their customers....
Gallo Reference III Owner's: Quick Question
Hi All,
I have one quick question with regards to the Ref III's, in particular about connecting the SA amp to the second voice coil. I know that the SA amp is not yet released, but perhaps someone knows (through theory perhaps) the answer to my question.
I have ordered my Ref III's with the SA amp. The speakers will arrive in January, the amp around March. I am busy organizing the system so that it will be ready for these new components. Specifically in terms of cabling I need to organize how to connect my current integrated amp to the SA amp.
I currently have a double-run biwire set of speaker cables which if needed can be easily split into two single wire cables. I would then connect the pre-out of my integrated to the line-level in of the SA with interconnects. Alternatively I can keep the cables biwire, run one set of terminations to the Ref III speaker in and the other set to the hi-level in of the SA amp. Does anyone know if there will be a difference in terms of sonic quality? Is any one of these method preferred or will it attain integrity more?
It is just a matter of connecting to the SA amp via RCA or via speaker cables.
