Hi! I have Marantz SR6013 in 7.1 setup and I would love to improve my stereo music experience. Couple of details:
Couple of questions:
1) Does PRE OUT just transfer signal through AVR to AMP? Is it a pure bypass or is there some loss in quality?
2) Regarding the previous question - should I therefor connect my sources to the AVR or the AMP?
3) What about the subwoofer? I see that some amps have a dedicated subwoofer input. I have a sub, Yamaha YST-SW1500.
4) As for music I mostly listen to vinyl records, what sort of AMP should I get (very noob on this one). Something with a "warm sound"? My budget is up to 1,000 USD. I know that some amplifiers have HT bypass which is neat, but these are unfortunately very expensive, so I guess I'd be manually setting the volume on the AMP to match that one on AVR when watching movies (as L and R would remain connected to the AMP via pre-outs).
I love Hi-FI, but I'm still learning, so any advice is more than welcome
- my main listening source is Audio Technica LP-120 turntable
- my main L/R speakers are Mirage FRX 7
- I would connect my external amp (which I'm planing to buy) via PRE OUT (L and R) that are available on my AVR.
