Power Amplifier

Owning a dedicated power-amplifier usually means that you are very serious about your music. A conventional amplifier consists of two parts, the low-level switching section and the amplification section, both housed in the one box.

A separate power-amplifier is the amplification or muscle portion of this combination, housed in its own chassis.

There are numerous reasons for buying a separate pre-amp:

1) It will by necessity have its own dedicated power supplies instead of sharing one with the pre-amp stage.

2) The power amplifier can create low level noise, which in turn can affect the performance of the pre-amp. A separate chassis helps to isolate this.

3) Some companies are renowned for their power amplifiers, and others are great at pre-amps. This way you can have the best of both worlds.
