Just read the HFW review on the Icon Audio ps1 special edition. I was looking forward to this as i have half modified the amp to SE by upgrading the valves as they suggested and may at some point go the whole hog and change the caps to Jenson paper oils.
What i didnt know was that the amp can go straight into a power amp. The Icon has a volume pot on it. The reviewer states it sounds much better direct to a power amp.
I have always always used an integrated and have no experience of this.
Is this an obvious way to go?
I wanted at some point to get a more powerful amp, something like a cambridge audio 840 or the AVI neutron sub/amp but this is a new path to consider maybe.
I think he used a Quad 909.
Any comments would be gratefully appreciated.
