Sanders sound systems preamplifier

Waiting for it's delivery.   Would this be better than my other 2 preamps???

onkyo p-308
B&K pro 10 mc

just want your thoughts on the sanders preamp.  Will it offer better clear sound than these other two preamps?

when I plug in the onkyo, I get instant static from tweeters.  I hope it's not a home cable issue


how do separate all my cables to minimize any hum, ac interference ???  Wrap all power cords together?
everything is bunched behind my tv.

Anyone notice lack of bass with sanders preamp??????

like it disappeared, wtf. Over speakers closer to wall, a wee better, but still........seems lacking. 

Will cables help? A good CD player?

No lack of bass with my Innersound iControl Pre. The bass is deep, tight, fast and the timber is spot on! Keep trying to figure out your problem. I would suggest a dedicated line. Make sure you do not have any major appliances on that line or florescent lights.

This is what I have.   New furman power strip ac cond/surge, only for other components, amps plugged into wall.  McCormack dna750's, sanders preamp. Audioquest Quartz 1m from preamp to amp.  Using toshiba sd4000 as CD player, with audioquest turquoise. 

Pair of energy rc-70's hooked up with real 8 awg wire via fake nakamichi locking bananas, same as all the other nak bananas out there, only a 10mm hole to put the thick 8 awg wire. 

Also tried ipod, bass is very null, it's there, but it is lost in the music, the treble/mids are very in front of everything with cd and iPod

could the pre be this thin? As. Mentioned wi th my onkyo p-308 from 1989 I have great bass.  I replace with sanders, and the bass is weak.

Ok, I have some minor good news, that damn static I was getting from my tweeters is fracking gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I replaced my audioquest Quartz with audioquest XLR’s and mother fuc*** the static vanished! I’m so happy, now, I have to deal with the volume, I’ll report back shortly, lil guy sawing logs, can’t throttle the amps just yet, I’ll let you all know as soon as I can test the bass response, it does seem to be better, but could be placebo with XLR cables installed.  

Why hey would xlr's cause that static to disappear?????  And be present with rca interconnects?
