CDC, were they talking about home theater am/fm turner "receivers" or just simple integrateds. There is a difference. Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing here. Anyone can give an explanation as to why one should sound better than the other, but you have to hear it to really know. In my experience, I have heard some integrated's sound so good there is no issues such as heat generation to even enter the equation. There is no guarantee that if you get separates they will sound better than an integrated or vice versa. All I'm saying if you want it simple, there should not be an issue as there is plenty of integrated's that sound amazing.
advantage of seperates vs integrated
I have been thinking of a change to seperates but.. I was weighing the advantages of a seperate amp/pre as opposed to using integrated (I have use of Classe CAP 151 right now). What I'd like to go to would be all Solid State Audio Research to mate with my CD 3 Mk 2. The additional questions would be; would the ARC SS provide better bottom end to the Apogee Slant 6 I lsten to and would it also provide a deeper and wider sound stage advantage for the investment of approx. $2200-$2700 post sale of existing equipment as I listen primarily to soft rock, new age and jazz? Currently the sound is very good and very smooth, would the change be worth it? Thanks for the opinion.
