dbx DriveRack 260 or dbx DriveRack PA2?

[Aaron Bilger]

Can't make my mind up on which one to buy. Wanting to use one of them to be my main preamp at home for my PC I got Crown power amplifiers wanting to do a better custom subwoofer build also so there's another amp i'll be buying also i got my main speakers and then a subwoofer then a pair of speakers behind me i'm still doing stereo sound but gonna get my AV receiver replaced with one of the DriveRack's looking for the lower pink noise if any my crown amp gives some off i can hear but its not bad wanting to know if the driverack will increase more pink noise i could hear since i am about 2-3 ft from my speakers. I want the least amount of pink noise, my AV receiver does not work well with the sub output with the crown amps sounds low in volume and very muddy works fine with my powered sub though.

Hard to make heads or tails out of that word salad, but if you’re looking for the quieter unit, it’s hard to tell from the published specs. I’d say there’s a better chance the 260 is quieter, since it lists for twice the price of the PA2.
