It will only work with a good dose of a signal from say a cd player , standalone dac , dvd player ect... . It has it's limitations as far as what cables can be used without getting adapters . It is 1% the cost of what pre i just did a comparison with . LOL and i prefer it by a big margin . There are other passive volume controls geared to the audiophile as well . Those will have standard rca connections making it easier to incorporate but i have no experience with those . By no means is this a recommendation that will work with all systems . With the Bryston Maggie combo it does though .
Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7
I am new at this and I am hoping I can get some good advice. I listened to the Magnepan and fell in love with them. I've been gearing up to buy them over the last three weeks. I started reading about them online and I'm seeing that good, powerful amplification is very important to get them to really perform. At the stereo store I know they were powered by a top flight amp. So now I have to get an amp/preamp and DAC, integrated amp with DAC or with a separate DAC. I listen to Tidal a good deal.
The problem is that my budget is limited to around $1200 so I don't know if that can make the cut to get something that can do the speakers justice. I'm open to buying used. I would be grateful for any recommendations.
