| What now? First - thank you to all who have responded helpfully. As to the physical layout, I have very few choices. I like the new house and community, but the house is considerably smaller than the one I left. The piano is a small Yamaha electronic one -... | |
| Snell speaker repair near Sacramento Thank you all for the suggestions. Will call Deets tomorrow; | |
| Snell speaker repair near Sacramento Thank you for the responses. I am hoping to find someone local as I am reluctant to ship and not eager to reinstall the drivers myself. I could buy them from OC or Atomic, but would like to find someone comfortable installing them. | |
| analog to digital Thank you all. I will check into software tomorrow. Do these things ever come up for sale on audiogon - and where would you look for them - under analog or digital? (I haven't seen them on either). | |
| analog to digital I wonder if this is overkill for what I want to do. I just need two channels. Don't want to do any engineering. The BAT preamp has a phono section but the only output is for tape, and I use a moving magnet cartridge. I don't need the digital to an... | |
| Help in isolating a TT with spring suspension. I don't know this turntable, so this response may not apply. I take it the platter is suspended. You say you've had other turntables that were not that bad. Were they suspension tables? If so, the springs on this table may account for the differen... | |
| Outlets If you have some sort of surge protection between the outlet and the component, does that mean that the quality of the outlet is less important? I live in a heavy thunder storm area (lots of big booms). I'm getting some sort of whole-house surge p... | |
| What cartridge, what output? Doug - Thank you very much. I appreciate the information and what you say about preferences. My BAT preamp manual says the default cartridge loading resistance value for the phono module is fixed at 47k. I listen to most kinds of music, with some ... | |
| What cartridge, what output? Thank you for the suggestion. I have a MM cartridge, would like to try a MC, am looking for advice on output and on specific MC cartridges. | |
| alternative to apple tv? I talked with Apple again. Supervisor said the overheating thing was nonsense, if it overheated there is something wrong with it (probably the fan not kicking in), send it back. They are sending a new one. Thank you for the responses. | |
| DAC, preamp, amp - picking the right ones Thanks to everyone who has responded. I'm buying a BAT300xSE integrated amp and still need a dac. The BAT has 300 wpc into 4 ohms. I'm hoping that will be enough. I notice that most dacs do not have balanced out option, but some do. According to B... | |
| DAC, preamp, amp - picking the right ones Also, I'm leaning slightly toward separates, on the theory that it may be easier to fine-tune the system if I can replace one component at a time. | |
| DAC, preamp, amp - picking the right ones Thanks again. I will look at the new Pass integrated, but I will probably buy used equipment here on Audiogon. At least some of the Audio Logic DACs don't have a toslink input. | |
| DAC, preamp, amp - picking the right ones Thank you for the suggestions. I should have said that I listen to classical (pretty much the full range), jazz (including lots of vocal), some country. I don't like a very lean or dry sound, so I guess it would be fair to say that I like a warm s... | |
| unattached newbie seeks compatible dac Thanks. Good advice. But as I said, I live in the deep wilderness. Feel fortunate to have electricity. For me, test drive means buy. But it's quiet here. |
