Have you determined the wpc rating you want? FEATURES. no matter what, I would want both remote volume and remote balance. I find a squeak of balance adjustment from my listening position can make a big difference regarding proper imaging, and the sound simply opens up. I want on, adjust volume, great, refine balance? click, done! You may have remote balance in your existing pre-amp, but you might change that, might go back to a Vintage Tube unit, like I and many have done, losing any remote control. Inexplicably, many new pieces, they often don’t even photograph the remote, and don’t list the features. I had to download owner’s manuals and scour them to ascertain what had what, AND, sometimes it is buried deep in a menu. compilation albums have individual tracks from all over the place, a track or two often benefit from adjustment. I just bought as terrific album, high quality, it needed a few clicks to the left, then was wonderful https://www.amazon.com/Meeting-River-Vinyl-Cooder-Bhatt/dp/B0025KN4DI/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding...= initially both drums were bunched up on the right, and Ry Cooder was weak on the left. 3 clicks, Ry volume up, and one of the drummers, his son, moved left of center. Just like the photo of them playing! I started a thread, not the ultimate as you are lookin for, but about remote vol & bal https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/remote-balance-control-on-tube-integrated-amp |
