@pcbiz Are these cables special then??

Thx for the tip, And then I can say that I will definitely do this ..... But no, I know myself.. This will never happen 😏

OK, It is clear to me that this bundle of wires is complete nonsense. I will have this adjusted to a normal wiring situation Thank you all for helping me out. I appreciate it 👍🏻

Sorry, I was not clear.. But this is exactly what I mean

And should I just use 1 blue and 1 black of the four wires instead of 4x4? Or do you say, remove everything and replace it with something completely different.

Great, Then the chance is only greater that I will hear a difference 👍🏻

Wow.. 4 wires braided together for each positive and negative wire. That seems to me to be very exaggerated

Ok, I've removed all drivers and filters.i will also upload pictures of everything. The previous owner had everything soldered in, so the man who is going to modify everything has to solder new connectors. I would like to hear your opinion about the wiring and perhaps other things you can see from the pictures. . Now that everything goes to that man, drivers and filters, to measure everything and for a recap, this is the best opportunity to tackle the wiring (if it is better) . If you see things in the pictures which I can imorove, I'd love to hear about it . Monday at the end of the day I take everything away to that guy.

Clear answer 👍🏻

A lot of information and also quite technical which I don't understand all that well,but thats fine. If I may just bring this back to my current situation. Is it correct if I say that I don't lose bits (audio signal) if I use the volume control on my Cambridge media streamer and remove my preamp?

Thank you for all the replys. I think I will only find the answer to my question by listening very carefully myself. I hear well-founded answers from both sides as to why a preamplifier would or would not be better Honestly expected the answer to be more simple 😅

OK, If this is true then this is a strong argument. So you're saying that if you digitally adjust the volume, bits are lost? Is this a fact? Because I've never heard this before. So if I understand your explanation correctly, if I adjust the volume digitally (with the Cambridge) bits (audio information) are lost, and if I adjust the volume analogously (with the Perreaux) then I keep all of my audio information/bits?

I had to read your text carefully a few times to make sure I understood you correctly, but I think you explain a bit what a preamp does, but I miss the substantiation with which you start your text "yes, a preamplifier is necessary ". I can't figure out from your text why I would be wise to use a preamplifier. I understand your explanation that a preamplifier can have its own sound character. And I understand that this can have a positive effect in an entire setup. But this also applies the other way around, it can also turn out negative in combination with the other components. And this is also no reason why you need a preamp. Sorry if I'm drawing wrong conclusions because I may have misunderstood your explanation

Interesting link 👍🏻. As you may have noticed, English is not my native language, so it is a bit more difficult for me to understand the essence of the story. But if I understand this article correctly, a preamplifier does nothing with the audio signal itself. It increased the signal voltage so that it is usable for the power amplifier, you have access to an EQ, input selector switch, volume control and that's it. This is all a preamplifier does. It doesn't add or enhance anything to the audio signal itself. So if understand it correct, if you don't need any of these features (I can control the volume with the Cambridge) , you might as well remove the preamplifier?

Like you, I don't use EQ or tone control, I run flat. As for your comment as to whether or not I am critical listeners. Yes, I think I am 😏. I try to make the audio sound as musical and beautiful as possible to my taste. And with adjustments I try to arrive, step by step, at the ideal sound. And hence my question, even though I don't hear a difference so quickly, but if I get the answer that a preamplifier will somehow improve the sound, even if it is still minimal, I reconnect the preamp again.

Hello, I have a question and maybe someone can answer it for me. As an audio set I have a Cambridge CXN V2 media streamer, Perreaux SA2 preamplifier, a Dynaco ST70 tube amplifier and Chorus 1 as speakers. Now, however, the Cambridge media streamer also has a built-in preamplifier (volume control). And since I only use 1 audio source, I don't need an input selector. As a test I have now removed my preamp from my system and connected the Cambridge mediastreamer directly to the Dynaco tube amp and control the volume via the cambridge instead of the preamp. Now my question is, except for controlling the volume and the audio input, what does a preamp do with the sound? Can I just as well leave out the preamp, or does the preamp also make small improvements to the sound? I don't really hear a difference that quickly. So Is this what a preamp only does? Input selector and a volume control? Or does something also happen to the audio signal that can improve the sound quality?

👍🏻😉

I have noticed 😉 But I understand that a question is often difficult to answer with only a yes or a no. But it is clear to me that Mundorf is a fine brand to use.
