My apologies. The room has GIK treatments and a Monitor Audio sub.
Power Amp Question
Question: how to match a power amp to my system using an integrated amp as a preamp.
System:
Triad Gold LCR In-Room Speakers 4-OHM 100-400 watt
Audio Tecnica AT-OC9XL Dual MC cartridge
NAD C356 integrated amp
Rega Aria MK3 (recently added)
Thank You

No. Just...no. IME the preamp is more important than the power amp, assuming the power amp is up to the task. Don’t half-ass it. Sell your current stuff and buy a better integrated or separate pre and amp. Preamps are crucial to getting the best performance out of your system. Underestimate it at your peril. |
IF your question is how to use your NAD integrated as a preamp only: there should be two links (rectangular, black plastic covered) between the C356's rear PRE OUT 2 and MAIN IN RCA jacks. Remove those and simply plug a pair of interconnects, between the PRE OUT 2 jacks and your new amp's input jacks. If your desire is to add a second amp: use interconnects from PRE OUT 1, to that amp and leave the PRE OUT 2/MAIN IN links alone. |
@soix Thanks for the info...price is why I am thinking power amp. |
