If you have more than one source, chances are you are using a pre-amp, and with a pre-amp you can connect the BAM through the tape loop. Before I had my BAM upgraded to the Super BAM, the manual allow the option of the user to place the BAM either between the source and pre, or between the pre and power amp. When I received the S-BAM back, Bobby indicated to me not to use it between the pre and amp, but put it after the source or through the tape loop. Since I always used it between the source and pre, I really never questioned his response. Does anyone know why it is no longer recommended to use the BAM between the pre and the amp??

hi brf,
the bam was never really designed to be used between the pre and amp because it has a capacitive input. it sounds best imho, hooked prior to a line output stage of a pre, either between a cdp and pre into the cd input or in a tape loop. magic occurs when the pre is tube so the bam's output is buffered by the tube line output stage of the pre.
ok?

I always used the bam after the preamp.
yes it is!
that is why your sound lacks natural embodiment howard.
