Hi. I presently own a Denon AVR3805 and a very old but very good in my opinion amplifier a Sansui AU6900. My question is would my sound improve if I was to use the 6900 as a preamp. I have read on this site that using an amp and the 3805 as a processor makes a difference in sound quality. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Did you mean the pre amp part of the 6900? I doubt it has signal processing in it that the 3805 has, right? Why would you use its pre amp section for?
If you are asking about the amp section, it would depend on the power it has vs the 3805. Does you listeing habits and speakers need exptra power that much?
But, it woul dnot hgurt to try it as you have it, especially if the 6900 has the jumper from pre to power amp section to interface it with the 3805.
As to sound quality differences, that is dubious.
