Jmcgrogan2,
Hmmm.. The Theta has the capability to go multichannel, yes. But it is a mono-Channel, fully balanced, Class A design. Each channel stands on it own. So I can simply switch to Stereo mode and only two channels are active. Its a completely black amp. No background noise whatsoever, In addition, My speakers are 4Ohm, full range. They need power.
To get "better" and a better fit for my speakers I'd have to invest 10k in the amp.
The prepro controls the volume. That's it. It's out of the way.
The turntable/cartridge are likely to have the greatest impact on my current system. With the phono amp possibly next as has been mentioned.
