SoundStage! InSight - Anthem STR Preamplifier and Power Amplifier (December 2017)

Wow beautiful.

[@Coolesttech]

What are you doing with the USB digital input? Hopefully, you aren't resampling DSD to PCM, please elaborate.

[@terrysummer1336]

What is the gain on the MC phono input please. I have a Dynavector XX2 MKII @.28mV. Need at least 60 dB gain.

[@kevinl6231]

I got mine. The MC phono input is pretty awful. Probably an afterthought. I wound up getting a separate phono stage and using one of the RCA inputs.

No headphone circuit? Very strange for a preamplifier and integrated retailing for 4 K+ CAD...

I have just completed a review of the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier if
interested: ua-cam.com/video/hUCf1cfF1rs/v-deo.html

Besides the Yamaha c-5000 preamplifier, this is a very simple and poor quality. Certainly the Yamaha C-5000 is the best.

Depends if you want audio jewellery or no-nonsense engineering.

[@obsesifadam7845]

Looks like a toy. Very simple and cheap looking interior building. That preamplifier doesn't deserve the money.

Have you even listened to it?
