Hi guys, hope you all are well.
I am asking for your help in purchasing a preamplifier for my "new" Rotel RB-980BX.
This power amplifier is actually working paired to an integrated amplifier, the Nad 302, that I am using as a preamp. I purchased this power amplifier because I would like to move forward from the 25W provided by the Nad and then buy a decent pair of speakers (now I have a pair of Bose 201).
Now it seems that what I hear from this configuration is a sound focused on lowest frequencies and that mid and treble seems, how can I say, overwhelmed by the bass frequencies and I lost a decent amount of details. Honestly, I prefer the sound of the Nad 302 alone.
I would like to have tone controls and a phono imput on the preamp. Actually, I was thinking of an Audiolab 8000C or a Nad C 160/162 (with the latter I think that the sound signature would not be different from the one that I have with the 302).
Do you have any equipment recommendation for me?
Thank you in advance for both your kind attention and unvaluable help, salutations from Italy!
