Has anyone tried bypassing the pre-amp in the SX-1250 and connecting the source direct to the power amp ? What was the effect?
I asked this because I was using a Rotel power amp with direct connection to a DAC, I eventually used the SX-1250 pre-amp and noticed that the sound was warmer and bit more relaxed. Is this relaxed tone the correct character of the pre-amp or age is creeping in for the SX-1250? Tone switch is off, Loudness off, basically Flat setting.
