When Amplifier Pre arrived, I opened the package and was impressed with the solid packaging which insured Amplifier Pre didn’t arrive damaged in any way, shape, or form.
Overall, my experience was amazing. I hope this helps you make a solid buying decision.
Which one stereo Pre-Power Amplifier is best? I need Heavy bass effect?

The way you are phrasing this question is kind of confusing, BUT, if I’m reading this correctly, you have a Yamaha HT Sub, which you would like to swap with a JL W7 10″, the obviously issues you will face are going to be the Volume of the enclosure, the power limitations of the Amp, and the drastic sensitivity variance.I would recommend building a new box right off the bat. You can try to mount them in the yamaha enclosure, but you might actually damage the sub, since the small enclosure is going to force the natural resonant frequency of the box to much higher than it would normally be, meaning that the sub’s peak might lay somewhere close to 80hz, which means the impedance around 80Hz will be much higher than it should be, which can cause the amp to push a clipped signal through the sub, which can damage the sub pretty quickly.As far as the impedance is concerned, you’ll have to wire the Subs dual voice coils in series, raising the resistance to 8ohms, which should be right on par with the amps rating.The amp is only rated for 100w (assuming rms), and because the sensitivity of car audio equipment is significantly lower than with home audio equipment (car audio speakers are heavier, and have thicker surrounds and spider structures), so you will not be getting the same volume out of the W7 as you would have with the standard yamaha sub.So you really have to decide whether its worth it. If the yamaha sub isn’t blown, I’d say leave it alone, and use the JL for something else. if it is blown, you can certainly switch it out, but for the time you are going to spend making it work, you might just want to invest in a new home audio sub.**I think you were also saying you want to try to run it off a second amp. DON’T!!! You never want to run a speaker of two different amps, this causes all kinds of problems, the least of which is alot of smoke and sparks :-/
A Kicker amp with the same RMS wattage as the two subs should be a good choice. Some people say run a stronger amp.. just don’t blow the subs! Others say use a less strong amp.. so your subs should never blow. Try to find what sounds and works best for you.. and you will be satisfied. Does this help any?
Why not just buy a hardware preamp and send signal into your computer already hot? I’ve never heard of a real-time preamp.-KDecka.
if its just one speaker and there are multiple speakers on the same amp its most likely the RCA cable and/or connection
i fthere ain’t a headphone jack u can’t
Signal power is commonly misunderstood. if a signal was just a signal, then they wouldn’t make a line drivers and signal amplifiers. By splitting the preamp you’re splitting the signal voltage. Splitting to two amps probably wont make too much a difference, however if your deck is already lacking in signal voltage, then your amps will hate you :/ Perfect example, on a car you have your head lights and you have your daytime running lights. The Daytime running lights are usually the same bulb as your headlights, but how are they not as bright when running daytime running lights you ask? Well, the computer sends 6 volt ’signal’ to the bulbs instead of the 12 volts they use during full operation. Same difference with the voltage signal from your output when you share them
may not be a significant difference, but your amps will work a bit harder trying to use less signal to amplify.
In an amp chain the distortions(or lets say 90%) are in the final stage of the amp and since the valves have a much linear characteristic then the semiconductors the answer is yes,a tube amp will sound better then a solid state one even if the source signal is a PC!!!!
I would select the NAD, due to it is a higher end equipment than the Yamaha. If you are going to use it for bass reproduction, I would recommend that you get one with at less a 200 watt amp. Bass is the most demanding note in the frequency range when producing sound. Hope this will help you out.
On the lead channel, crank up the Pre Gain knob to near maximum, and then control the overall volume with the Post Gain. Cut the lows a bit, and boost the mids.There you go.Greetings from Austin, TXKen
Hi,Rob. Why do they have to be THX certified ? Having a Preamplifier certified is no indication that it will sound better than an uncertified one.Actually the THX process can degrade the sound as there is a certain blending of the rear channels with the front. Also your listening room has to be THX set up (whatever that means).THX specifications for preamplifiers are not important nor an indication of quality.For example.an amp. can be built with loosely regulated power supplies and achieve high dynamic headroom and meet THX specifications.In that case ,big power and headroom numbers are achieved at the expense of clarity,detail,smoothness and control over the speakers. You want the best amp for the money, TXH Certified or not. If you want the sweetest, warmest, and most unfatigueing sound available ,get a tube preamp.You have no idea what you are missing out by using a solid state preamp. I know you have your mind made up to get a THX certified Preamplifier because you have been told it is the only way to get the propper results from a Surround Sound Preamp.But just remember that the Preamplifier is the heart of the system. Any small error by the preamp,such as noise,distortion or harshness ,will be multiplied when the Power Amplifiers make a bigger copy and send it to the Speakers.EDIT..I am sorry trying to talk you out of one .It is none of my business .You specifically asked for advice on getting one Whether i like thx certified equipment or not doesn’t matter.I am more of a sound enthuisiast than a video one.I forgot to ask you your budget but i think the one below is about the minimum price for a good preamp processor.EDIT.. Rob is this what you are after…The Integra DTC -9.8 Preamplifier/Processor RRP $1,600..http://hometheaterhifi.com/forum/showthread.php?p=31203http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/375162.html
