Sometime back, (Somewhere between March and May of this year) there was a discussion on types of preamps and power amps, synergies between them etc. and I had read about a post by our Moderator Kanwar stating that having a tube preamp and a Class D power amp would offer best of both the worlds.
He had given a wonderful explanation as to why it is so. I've been searching for the post for over a month but can't seem to find it. So pinged Kanwar but he couldn't locate it either. As advised by him, I'm starting this new thread to discuss the topic. This would not only be an education for me as I'm thinking of pairing a DHT preamp with Class D Power amps but to others as well.
My interest of starting the thread is, as many of the regular FMs may be aware, I've made my vintage 15" Tannoy Monitor Gold DC Drivers in Rectangular GRF cabinets. I've not got them up and ready. Unfortunately, the active crossover box hasn't been completed fully and this is giving trouble in playing the system with issues of excessive hum and thumps. I intend to fix it ASAP. I want to also get a clear direction on which way to go because I already have a Pass DIY B1 Buffer preamp, Class D Audio CDA254 & Topping amps.
I'm inviting Kanwar (and also other knowledgeable FMs) for doling out his/ their expert advice.
