roughlytraded Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've been using a turntable and a Marantz 2230 integrated for the past year, but recently I've been curious about the sonic benefits of using a Tube Amp. So I just borrowed a friend's Jolida JD202A Amp (http://www.audioreview.com/product/amplification/integrated-amplifiers/jolida/jd-202a.html) and a Parasound 2100 PreAmp (http://www.parasound.com/2100.php) for the phono stage. But I'm confused now --- is it worthwhile to have the Marantz somewhere in the chain? Let me know the best way to use this gear, looking forward to hearing this tube warmth i keep hearing about. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerkinMuffley Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 You could try this: Plug your TT into the Parasound PHONO IN Take the "REC OUT" from the Parasound and and plug that into the Jolida's line input. Use the volume control on the Jolida. See if that works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
