As you may have gathered I'm spanking new in regards to the audio reproduction world...
I've been reading this site regularly as well as some others. There are some sites where bias' certainly prevail.. I do find this site enlightening.. a good reference point and compass to further research.
I have a very basic understanding of electronics and I'm studying as much as time allows regarding audio electronics...not sure why I can't just be satisfied with kicking back and enjoying the music..that's just me..
But I think I will slow down and do just that...just a little
Right now I gather from what I know..the amp is the least important as long as it is of sufficient power and quality construction, the speakers and the source would be the most important..not sure where the pre amp fits in.
Now I will risk exposing my ignorance and ask... if one were to spend upwards of $11,000 for, say a T+A D10 sacd/cd player and $16000,00 for B&W 801D's
then music reproduction should be pretty damn good even with say a $5,000 amp and preamp..
interconnects and power conditioning my be more important than with my current set up. The logic espoused by some engineers and product manufacturers seems reasonable to me regarding sonic qualities that my ear may detect...regarding noise and interference.
Ok ..that should be a good start..I got the compass spinning, can't wait to see where you guys point me from here..most importantly let's have fun..
Life is too important to be taken seriously..

oh yah sorry I cut this off earlier ..I tried to start this at work and sometimes I have to respond quickly...to work issues.
