Check the input impedance of your pre-amp.
Sound mystery
I have a mystery on my hands and hope you can help clarify things.
I recently exchanged amps so as to experiment with the sound of my system, I achieved better sound from the AMR CDP with the new amp but my LP playback suffered. Why would that be?
The new amp is Tom Evans Linear A (25watts), makes the AMR (Output impedance 150 Ohm) sound cleaner and more dimensional, ETC.
The phono Pre amp is an ASR Basis Exclusive (Output Impedance less than 50 Ohm, sounds flat and a bit sluggish.
The other amp is a Yamamoto 06-3 (4Watts), makes thee AMR sound flat and has less sparkle but the LP playback sound very dynamic and 3-dimensional, gives it more attack on the bass.
My Pre-Amp is a Joule Electra 300 ME, (output Impedance 300 Ohm)
Any ideas?
