| OK Audiogon, help me out please @justlance Hope things go well with the health issues in the family. I been there and it is never fun. @chrisoshea If that earlier post was aimed at me, I know bass not base... it was a typo. I guess just like spelling my screen name as Jef... | |
| Recommendations for a phono amp +3 on the Schiit Mani. Good little phono pre that is low cost. Same for the Pro-Ject Phono Box. I ran one on a second system for a few years and it was solid. And to add one more to the list, the Parasound Zphono which to me, is a step up from ... | |
| Power cables and power conditioners +1 @carlsbad2 I have two PS Audio units (PP10 and PP12). I called tech support about the cable coming in from the wall and was told that at least 12 awg minimum. And if the wiring gauge in the wall is heavier, then match the power cord to tha... | |
| Kenwood amp /mcintosh tuner /pa @cstrickland Sounds like you are trying to keep using the McIntosh mx113 as the preamp and only use the Kenwood as a straight power amp (i.e. bypass the preamp side), correct? You might be able to feed the McIntosh's output into the Tape Rec lo... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk It usually is always better to follow the KISS principal. (Keep it simple...) Adapters, while they work, sooner or later can cause problems. The extra connections on the signal path, potentially cheap construction, and potential imped... | |
| Pure Silver Wire @starwarrior.. . just being nitpicky.... the abreviation for silver is Ag not Si. Si is silicon. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk What are the makes/models of the CD Transport and DAC? | |
| Do I need anything additional to my setup for my pro-ject debut 3 turntable? A very, very nice set of speakers ($50K new) , and are worthy of a higher level of electronics. I'm sure you will get a great deal of suggestions for different makes/models and price ranges from other members. Just take your time and make your o... | |
| Do I need anything additional to my setup for my pro-ject debut 3 turntable? The Marantz doesn't have preamp outs, so no joy there. And trying to use the tape outs is just asking for making things messy. When you say flexable, what does that mean. $100, $1000, $5000??? Also, what speakers are you using? And what int... | |
| Do I need anything additional to my setup for my pro-ject debut 3 turntable? Since the Bel Canto has limited preamp capabilities, what you need is either: 1. A preamp with built in PHONO pre (similar to what the Marantz has) or 2. A preamp and a separate, standalone Phono preamp You can still use the Bel Can... | |
| Directional wires/cables I completely botched it up... not @jea48, but rather @mclinnguy.... I'm going to shut up now... | |
| Directional wires/cables jea48.... I was making a bad joke about the question you raised.... "If the speakers were 3251 kilometres away would there be no signal- would the energy simply stop and turn back the other direction, and one would hear no sound from the speaker... | |
| Connecting External DAC's and Pre-Amps to Hegel Integrated Amplifiers? @rick_n - "... something is going to blow", not necessarily. There are a bunch of preamps and integrated amps out there that allow for Home Theater bypass. I have two in my house right now. (Parasound JC-2 BP and a PrimaLuna integrated) It... | |
| Directional wires/cables You might say that I started some of this discussion with my own misconceptions in regards to AC power flow, for which now I stand corrected and beg forgiveness. It has been a learning experience for me. But @jea48, your last paragraph just ma... | |
| Connecting External DAC's and Pre-Amps to Hegel Integrated Amplifiers? @bassdue Maybe I should have done this first, I just Googled setting the Hegel into Home Theater mode and got a couple of different responses that are making me think I maybe not understanding what Hegel means by home theater input.
