Hello, folks,
I am trying to decide on what pre/pro to go with the Emotiva
LPA-1 amplifier.
I sent the LMC-1 back because of hissing, or what I call "ffffffffffffffffffff."
I have a Yamaha 661 (no hiss) that I am trying out, but I feel like since I have an amp, I can get something cheaper that will do just as well and use the money for some CDs and movies. Even if I do want the 661, I can get it for $150 less online.
I don't want suggestions for brand, and this is not a "$300 avr will perform just as well as a $5k processor" issue. But is there a certain spec I need to pay attention to in order to take full advantage of my amp? A guy on avs talking about using an AVR as a pre/pro was saying: "My only concern is output impedance of the receiver and its ability to drive the amplifier to its full potential."
Thank you all,
