HiFi AMPLIFIER CHOICES Integrated vs Pre Power? DONT CHOOSE WRONG

Подробнее о видео

In this video I am just kicking off 2025 with a brief discussion about a topic I think all audiophiles think about and ponder to themselves - should they buy an integrated amplifier or a preamplifier with power amplifiers instead? I think audiophiles will make this decision predominantly based for performance or sound quality reasons, but I have been thinking about because of functionality and how I now need dual balanced analogue inputs, not something every integrated amplifier offers.
