Abery, I am not sure why you do not just try a " better quality " passive pre ( my Luminous is totally invisible, and fabulous ). I am not stating additional gain ( preamp ) is bad, but speakers such as yours, and the high gain of the STA200 ( not to mention, 1 less pair of ic's ), would be killer....I use my Luminous with a dozen or so rotating amplifiers ( not just the Nuforce ) and I get plenty of gain on every one of them. You seem to be all over the map, looking into every new product coming out. Contact Tim Stinson at Luminous ( tell him I sent you to him, as I was a beta tester for him, and I get nothing from this ), and he will discuss with you, with complete straight forwardness and honesty, the truth...( my unit is single ended, has 3 pr. of inputs, 2 pr. of outputs, has remote, and is silent ). ( Maybe, he can give you a 30 - 60 day trial, IDK ). The Luminous requires, ime, a few hundred hours of break in, as I believe, ime, everything does ) It is " night and day " superior to your Schiit SYS. Stop the insanity. Enjoy ! MrD.
Can someone figure out the gain of this amp?
The new Mcintosh MA352 has a tube pre section and solid state section, by looking at the specs below, can someone figure out what the gain is? Most amp specs I see, if listed, are usually around 28db or so. Just curious for this new integrated amp. Thanks ahead of time
