ive been using a jbl synthesis sdp3 as a pre. never got around to using it as a 5.1 processor.
the manual describes using it as a preamp. it has worked well as far as i can tell.
would getting a dedicated preamp make that much difference?
I've been pretty much an objectivist on cables till today. It shouldn't matter scientifically.
I bought new power cable just because one them wouldn't stay seated after long last.
I bought some pretty nice looking power cables from Amazon. Spent about $100 for three.
From the very start...
