Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping

There is no difference between splitting the signal inside or splitting it outside. And splitting an output does no harm to an audio signal. If you are concerned that the wire is different than whats in the preamp then your interconnects should be the same as the wire inside the preamp. If you can get interconnects like the wire inside your preamp then you can get Y cables like the wire inside your preamp. Or, you can do like I did and add your own parallel outputs yourself. Or get a preamp that has single ended and balanced outs and use a single ended adapter on the balanced out. By the way, you should not split a composite video signal.

The conrad johnson pv10a does not have dual output jacks.

The Blue Circle BC3/BC3000 has two outputs. Blue Circle really makes a special preamp. Have to second the Air Tight and Jadis recommendations as well(didn't know they had 2 outputs).

Actually, it may only be the older JP80s (like mine) that have the two outputs, as the website talks of only one output and four line level inputs (mine has 2 and 3). Not at all sure about my old JPL anymore; I do seem to recall my old ARC SP11 having two outputs, any owners out there who could verify that?

Hi Brad,

I tried responding to your email but it got kicked back. My C-J pv10a was the latest version (without balance control) before they updated to the current pv10b model. I do biamp occaisionally (always changing) so I wrote c-j service and asked about cost to upgrade to the series b and if it could be fitted with dual output jacks. Knut said no to the jacks and told me to use a good y cable splitter. I bought a mogami y cable from my local dealer for $20 and it seems to work fine. I don't know if your unit is an older version of the pv10 or if it had some after market mods done.

I hope this helps clarify my statement. I really love the c-j pv10a. For my system, it is easily the best buy.

Regards,
Paul
