Preamps for NAD C272 poweramp

[shane2468]

Hi,

I am thinking about upgrading to another preamp. At the moment I am using my father's Conrad Johnson P14 preamp, the Conrad goes very well with the NAD. I don't know why?? But this combo sings very well on my TDL speakers.

I am thinking about getting a Rotel Michi RHC-10 passive preamp. My father use to have the big Michi power amp with the passive pre. It was a very nice sounding combo, but very gentle and neutral sounding . But I liked it.

Will the Michi pre amp go OK with the NAD? The NAD C272 is a warm powerful sounding power amp.

I like Rotel:bowdown:

Why not make your own "passive preamp" from a nice pot and a few RCA jacks?

Make sure your source can drive the amp.

I like the Conrad J P14 very much, but we think the valves may need changing though.

Anyway, the P14 belongs to my father, and he is selling it. So I'm just using it untill it sells. I will miss it though. It goes very well with my NAD C272. STRANGE!!!

My own preamp is a Rotel RC03 which is a great little fighter for the cash. But I want to uprade to another pre. I think my TDL speakers will benifit better with a more expensive pre in respect, don't get me wrong with the RC03, it's a great pre.

Can't you drop a hint or two so that your father gives it to you as an advance/belated birthday or Christmas gift ? :devil:

Peace lonergan2468!

I was thinking of doing that. Na, but he needs to sell it to make some funds.

NVA Or TVC

Been looking at the NVA P90 Passive Pre-amp with Built in Phono Stage. And also the TVC Promitheus preamp. But I don't think there is a TVC Promitheus preamp with built in phono stage??

I'm sure a passive pre will go OK with my NAD? The NAD has a gain vol on the back.
