I had m8s500 power amplifier I bought m8 preamp the sound is horrible I thought it was the right match what preamp can I buy to match the amp.i had it connected to an integrated amp and the difference was huge but im looking for the right preamp to match the m8s500 power amp
I haven't use the TTyet just the cd I know is only 6 hours abdvwas told that it will improve after 50 hours bit they probably winning time in case of a return but I see with few more hours the outcome
Also I was told that the input impedance has to be 11 times lower on the preamp than the power amp the power amp has 50 Kohms the preamp 75KO can that be the issue also im not using the luxman I have turn the volume to 80 db to be able to hear the music at 64 db is like 7 on the clock something is wrong
I was using luxman 505ux11 it sounds much better than the m8 preamp I had cornwall iv and forte iv connect with the preamp I have to turn tte volume up to 75 db or higher to get high sound at 65 db you can barely here the music at 75 db is louder but sounds very distortion not what I expected not what preamp should I buy
Right the TT is plug into the phono input MM but it sounds horrible a $5000 preamp should sound great with any distortion and at 60 db I can't barely heard the music
That's what I been using mark levinson cd it might same branch the amp and the preamp but something is wrong have to turn the volume to 80 db very loud to appreciate the music with distortion I might return the preamp
Also I want to add this only have 6 hours of break in time but I heard some people said that power smp and preamp don't need break in time like speakers that need around 500 hours.Can that be the issue is to soon just 6 hours of burn in time
Yes they try to troubleshoot over the phone they told to give it more hours and should fixed tge issue. But I'm hopping they are winning time in case of a return
Thks everyone for the advice but I return the preamp I let the luxman 505ux11 I'm using it as preamp wow what a combo m8s500 power amp with luxman 505ux11 amazing sound I will definitely keep that combo
