Hello All,

For the sake of this broad topic. I'm not concerned about brands and or the combination thereof. However, I'd like to know in general what can I expect/look for from going from an internal amplifier to separates.

For example, let's say an INT with the same power ratings as it's respective stand alone stereo amplifier. A Pass INT-250 compared to a Pass XP-10 and a X250.8?

Sound quality wise. Does having a separate pre amp really increase the sound quality? With regards to having a separate power supply for each physical unit. The downside is of course the additional and required set of interconnects.

Thanks
 
no , there are plenty of integrated amps that can give pre power a run for thier money . had a leben cs600 integrated here recently and just look at the grandinote thread to see what an integrated can do . some good videos about

however pre and power does mean you can play around with sound and see what sounds best for you
