Yes, I'm not going to 'pass' judgment until I get a preamp that I know pairs well with the Pass amp. I'm hoping that it's just a synergy thing. The Peachtree pre section has an output impedance of 100 ohms. Would that information have any bearing on whether or not it would play nice with the Pass? decooney, I got the amp used from a guy who used it in his main system so I assume its well broken-in. Don't know the number of hours though
Ok. No joke, I've seen people use them 50 hours, not read the manual, put 'em in a closet, lose patience, change through 2 owners, and the 3rd owner with patience wins and gets the gold at 250-300hrs burn-in.
Also, in this test case scenario you are not just adding the Nova preamp circuit, your adding a pair of interconnects into the mix now too, right?. Lower grade interconnects can also be poor tone and soundstage passive equalizers too. In some cases completely taking the life out of the sound IF too veiled over. Just another thought in comparison.
