Hi, i have a question.
Currently i own a Marantz SA-15S1 CDP powered by a Marants PM-1S1 integrated amp, there is a tuner and a turntable hooked too. Speakers are B&W CM7.
I am thinking about gathering everything up through a pre amp that would be ultimately connected to the existing amp - in other words, getting a pre amp to gather up my sources and using the existing amp as a power amp. I am not sure if this is even makes sense or whether it`s going to work, but if it did, would it be worth the investment? Or should i tap some more and get a dedicated pre amp / power amp combo? This would practically mean getting a new system - least desired financially.
I am looking, like everybody else, for the perfect sound.
Thanks, Radu
