Simple....Take a $100 “Coby” stereo from Walmart and put a SR uber-fuse in it. Net outlay $250. That low brow Coby will kick the &@@@:&; out of your current system.priceless.
Just prepare to be astonished (you can thank me later). And SR infused Coby has the highest WAF!!!!
Non-Esoteric Audiophile Grade Crosspoint
Like many others, my system has grown to include many, many sources (stereo and mono turntable with dedicated external phono stages, two cassette decks, one open reel deck, fm tuner, satellite radio tuner, CD player, etc...) and processing devices (DBX encoder, decoder, compressor, expander; equalizer, etc...) not to mention future growth into streaming and DSD. I have a couple of NAD integrated amps that I’ve used daisy-chained for more inputs, and to bi-amp power my speakers. This is workable, but awkward. In pro-audio, I’ve seen analog audio crosspoint switchers, but almost all of these have balanced I/O where most of my gear only supports unbalanced; the raw specs are middling at best and the user interface borders on the clunky side. So, I ask: how do you fellow members solve this conundrum?

You can get one of these used on eBay for about 50 bucks! It has 8 RCA inputs! http://www.oceanmatrix.com/product.asp?item=OMX-9051 |

While I don't have near as many sources as you have, what works for me is a Primare SP 31 pre-pro, which has more than enough digital and analog inputs. The DAC and preamp are outstanding. For analog, I built a Transcendent Sounds Grounded Grid tube preamp, which I use with my SET 300B amp. Still kind of clunky, though. Regards, Dan |
