Can you describe “sound is horrible” in terms of ‘in what way it sounded?’
Or what was wrong with the sound?

Mismatch of a Musical Fidelity amp and Musical Fidelity pre? No. 

You have issues downstream of the pairing.

Figure it out.

I was using luxman 505ux11 it sounds much better than the m8 preamp I had cornwall iv and forte iv connect with the preamp I have to turn tte volume up to 75 db or higher to get high sound at 65 db you can barely here the music at 75 db is louder but sounds very distortion not what I expected not what preamp should I buy
