I recently purchased a NAD 298 to upgrade and modernize my amplification.
Demoted to preamp duties is my W4S STI-500 integrated amp which was using at least a decade old technology in the Icepower ASP500 module. I connected the unbalanced pre-out of the W4S to the input of the 298 to make the system work.
Question is, is it best to internally disconnect the preamp section to the power amp modules since they are no longer used? Is there any advantage if I do that or should i just forget about it? This photo below isnt mine but should be the same - it is a W4S STI-500, if i understand things correctly i just need to remove the white connection on the top left of both modules, does that seem right?
