Hi Folks
...here's one for you!
For some time now, I've been using an old Arcam Alpha 8 Power amp to drive main L/R Channels in my Yamaha based AV system.
Signal taken from Pre-Outs of the Yamaha to inputs of Arcam...with some success!
If I replace Arcam with my even older Crimson Power (Kit built in the80's, and just updated by the designer of that amp, and I know this is working perfectly in it's own right!).....sound is noisy/distorted...even distant.
I had assumed that any power amp could be driven by any pre-amp....but not so!!
Any thought on how I might correct this.....the Crimson is a MUCH better amp!?
Confused....let's face it....doesn't take much!!
