jaferd, I’d say for $49 and the option to return, the Sys is a no brainer. My comment regarding the quality of the volume control was meant after extensive use. Otherwise it’s well built and functions as it should.
Need a preamp?
Hi all,
I have an older Cary tube preamp and a Bob Latino ST70 with a built in attenuator driving a pair of Proac D30R. The combo seems to be a tad too warm so I tried using the amp without the preamp and it seems to sound better with a wider soundstage and more extended highs. I have a phono amp also so I can also listen to LPs and cds. Is there a reason I need a preamp other than the convenience of switching between the two? Would a ss preamp or passive preamp add to the sound? I presume any preamp would only degrade the quality and can't make it better than it is.

@jaferd For slightly more money you get better connectors and hand wiring: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Input-2-Output-Audio-Video-AV-RCA-Selector-Splitter-Switcher-Box-Adapter-... |
But he needs a couple of inputs, and his amp is single ended. But nice to know the Nobsound Mini use a proper quad Alps 27 for the xlr instead of wiring pseudo xlr. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1FTx5LpXXXXbwXpXXq6xXFXXXj/Japan-ALPS-27-type-10KA-4-quadruple-Audio-p... https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Fully-Balanced-Single-Ended-Pre-Amplifier-Controller/dp/B01MXC9HHW Cheers George |
