| Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300 I don't see either a 12V trigger in or out on th e NR1200, so you don't have a direct method. There might be work around. You might be able to use two smart outlets and turn both on with a programmed routine. (i.e. with Amazon Alexa outlets... ... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 canefanmd, Without knowing anything about you or more of your history in this hobby, please forgive me if I come off being condescending. I have been in this hobby since I was 15... and I'm 61 now... (I hate being old...) With a $3K budget, you... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 canefanmd, At the risk of opening a big can of worms, it might be time to step back and look at the overall system. But since no one has responded to you in 3 days, I'll take a crack at it. The Adcom GFP-565 and GFA-555 are a solid starter syst... | |
| Streamer question Agreed, very nice DAC. In case you didn't know, if you go to the RoonLabs web site, under the "About" menu, you can see the different manfacturers who have "Roon Ready" devices. You would be looking for what Roon shows as a "bridge". If I rem... | |
| Streamer question How big is your music library? The Bluesound Node is rated at over 200,000 individual tracks. Roon is supposed to handle 100,000 but I have seen posts that say they were getting more than that. Would also help to know what the rest of your equ... | |
| Streamer question Chris, this should be pretty simple. Since you are streaming from the Internet, I'm assuming you have at least a wireless network setup. What you need is a Roon "Endpoint", ie the streamer, to connect to the DAC (or bypass the DAC and go straig... | |
| Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up Bill, you forgot a step. Walking into the backyard at 2 in the morning, staring at the stars, and cursing the stereo gods for tempting you into this hobby! I feel your pain. I recently moved into a new house and was psyched that I could finall... | |
| The best customer experience I've ever had...... Two people/companies I can think of right off the bat... Richard Schram at Parasound (before he sold the company). He picked up the phone on my tech support call and spent 45 minutes talking to me about what direction to go with preamp/amp. P... | |
| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs and something that is helpful on positioning ML electrostatics, what they call the flashlight method.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsBUFCsyP4s | |
| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs While I’ve been in this hobby for 40 plus years, I’m am by no means at the expert level as a lot of the people that post here on Audiogon are. I can’t afford the equipment that some have either. (Only can dream…) I also know what it is like to ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Mike Oldfield “The Songs of Distant Earth”Great guitar work. | |
| Preamp under $2,000. There is a Parasound JC-2 for sale right now on Audiogon for $1900. It is a very nice pre and that is a great price. I've never seen a bad review. I have one and have been very pleased with it. | |
| Classe CAV 75 12v trigger to power on/off dtximages,I had a CAV75 amp with a SSP-30 pre/processor setup for my home theater years ago. When HDMI came about and I changed out the SSP-30 for a Denon receiver, I was in the same boat you are.You are correct that the telephone jack is the 12V ... | |
| Caps for Soundstream DA-1 You are correct that mine are the screw in type. And as for the cracks, they go completely across the top of the caps. It looks like someone hit the power rail that runs between the caps with a hammer. I’m thinking that what happened was the am... |
