Which pre/pros have high output?


I have a NAD T752 running into an Anthem MCA 5 and input of the MCA 5 is 1.35v. I have to turn the NAD way up to get good volume. Wondering if there were any other pre/pros out there with higher output than my NAD.

We discussed this John :)

The way receivers are designed often the preouts are not up to the task due to the input impedance and sensitivity of an outboard amplifier. They have to cut the corners somewhere. :)

There is nothing wrong with turning the NAD up since there is no load on the speaker terminals and you really can't hurt the receiver or your amplifier. but 1 o'clock if I rememeber correctly will be about it for the output on the NAD preouts with a full signal input.

The fact is the MCA5 II requires 2V to get to full power and the NAD only puts out 1.3V so what you have is what you have,

B&K Reference 50.2 or for less the NAD 173? prepro will do just fine.
