gartenman Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 My Conrad Johnson preamp has 2 outputs. I ran one output to my tube amp to run my mains. And I ran the subs off the 2nd preamp output but it didn't sound very good despite multiple adjustments. I had a Harman Kardon solid state receiver laying around collecting dust. It has pre-outs, main ins and sub outs. I remember how much better my subs sounded with solid state, remembering of course how tube rocks for everything else. This is how it ended up, one preamp output went to mains and other to solid state receiver. Conclusion. Solid state receiver as a preamp for the subs produced a much tighter, focused and articulate sub sound. It was a great improvement from when i ran the subs off the 2nd preamp output. At least in my case it did. Plus I can use the remote from the receiver to adjust sub volume from across the room. Just an idea if you have a solid state receiver laying around collecting dust.
