Hi,
I am using a Musical Fidelity A1 FBP preamplifier and two Musical Fidelity 550k monoblocks.
Ever since I've had the speakers when no music is playing, if I put my ear to the tweeter I can hear static/ high frequency noise. This does not really get louder when I turn the volume up but remains constant.
I have has all the units "upgraded" or refurbished through a popular electronics engineer that works on Musical Fidelity equipment and the issue is same, albeit less than before.
Even though this is never an issue when listening to music, I do wonder if an amplifier with a lower noise floor would sound better.
When I look at the technical specifications of the mono blocks, they have a signal to noise ratio of 120db Vs the preamplifier at 96db.
Would trying a preamplifier with a lower designed noise floor resolve this issue, or is something else going on? If it is the preamplifier, are there any well regarded products to audition?
Thank you.
