| 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. Definite... | |
| Connecting External DAC's and Pre-Amps to Hegel Integrated Amplifiers? @bassdude - You are very close to what you want to setup. You need to use the Hegel in Home Theater (HT) mode. According to the manual you can configure it this way. That way you are only using the Hegel's power amp side. 1. Connect all you... | |
| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? Sorry, can't help on a service resource in the Boston area, but I hope it works out well. It would be a shame if they have to be retired due to repair/refurbish cost. Let us know how it goes. | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on @ghdprentice I wholly agree with everything you said. Before I moved into my current home, I had stable power (voltage and distortion) and a good power conditioner was all that I needed. New home, different story. So, I would put out there t... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on Never hurts to find out. You could always pick one up used. The seem to resell pretty quickly. In fact, The Music Room (tmraudio.com) has a couple of P5 units for <$1600 right now. | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please @ justlance 11x11 and I'm guessing 8 foot ceiling max. Any room treatments? Carpet, bass traps, book cases or other diffusion/absorbation (especially at the 1st reflection points, heavy curtains for the window, a lot of furniture, etc.? A... | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please @justlance What is the rest of your equipment, what is your room like? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you play it loud? or at low volumes? etc.... All of these things will influence what you hear. Both speaker brands are solid an... |
