There is a tread of all-in-one units in recent years \u2013 tuner\/amplifier\/CD player from Onkyo, Sony, Linn\u2019s Classik even Bang & Olufsen.\u00a0 They are concise and tidy, the most vital is user-friendly.<\/p>\n

But let’s think of an entirely different approach: one where you have the maximum number of bits of clobber in order to produce the sound, and where even a simple CD\/amp\/ speakers combination could find no fewer than eight pieces of equipment in your room, six of which will need their own mains sockets. Macho nonsense? Not really?<\/p>\n

First of all, for a CD player, it can be separated into two parts \u2013 Mechanical\/Optical block and the Digital-Analog converter.\u00a0 By reading the digital source from the Optical unit, then it passes the signal to converter in order to produce music.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

The nature and functionalities are totally different in these 2 parts, and so it pays to have separate power supplies, and some degree of physical separation, between them.<\/p>\n

Many argue that a two-box CD player presents the best of both worlds.\u00a0 For any upgrade, you can replace the digital-to-analogue converter without changing the mechanical\/optical block.<\/p>\n

The above is also applied to amps.\u00a0 There are absolute advantages in keeping the sensitive low-level signals in the preamp section well away from the high-level stuff in the power section.\u00a0 All the high-end and million systems are in two box amp.\u00a0 Moreover, two mono power amps should be better than stereo ones, we should keep the channel as separate as possible.<\/p>\n

Some brand boxes may not be the best combination of music because they are leading the same style.\u00a0 To have a better sound balance, the further option is using manufacturer A\u2019s CD player, B\u2019s preamp and C\u2019s power amp(s).<\/p>\n

To have better-sounding speakers, work should be imposed.\u00a0 If you are using a small pair of bookshelf speakers, you should add a pair of floorstanders in order to have better listening position (at the right height).\u00a0 Finally, you may choose an active subwoofer to listen to more bass.<\/p>\n

You get the benefit of the speed and agility of the little speakers, with less of the mechanical interference possible when there are big air-shifting drivers in the same boxes as tiny paper-thin treble diaphragms.<\/p>\n

We are not saying that everyone should abandon simple all-in-one systems.\u00a0 On the other face of the coin, it can make sense to have better sound by expand in a reasonable scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
