| Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions Jp . . . Tls has given good advice above. It did not occur to me that the Integra would not output digital sources to the tape outs. I think the direction you're going now can yield very good music results. The only thing I would add is this - Cle... | |
| Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions one possibility for your music sources is to use your Integra as a DAC (ie leave them connected to the integra via HDMI), and take an analog connection from a "tape out" (assuming you have one) to the analog input of your integrated. Otherwise get... | |
| Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions Jpg1975 - I took another look at your original post, and if you were thinking of buying those red dragon audio m500's - that's $2400 - far more budget than you will need to get a pretty nice 2 channel music rig to run in parallel with you HT rig. ... | |

| Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions @Bdgregory do you think a stand alone hometheater pre-amp (for example emotiva umc-200) would be any better with regard to the issue I am experiencing? the short answer is maybe. I've tried multiple HT Receivers, and multiple Stand alone Pre/Pro's... | |
| best tube preamp under a 1000 for B&K 200 sonatas? I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember that the B&K M200's having a fair low input impedance of 22K(?) Ohms. you're very close - the published spec is 24.3 Kohms | |
| Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions In order to have the system sound good for anything (movies/tv or music) I feel like I have to turn the receiver up too high (around 68-75 out of 100)...otherwise the sound is flat/boring. Do people agree that this is a problem, or I should just t... | |
| best tube preamp under a 1000 for B&K 200 sonatas? Hello,I see a TAD 150 Signature posted on Agon. I owned one 4 years ago. A very nice sounding tube preamp for its price point. Has no short comings really - just sounds right. Has remote, only uses (2) tubes so tube rolling is not too costly. It h... | |
| Simple Biamp question I vertically biamp using a TAD 150 sig to 2 SS amps. In my case though since I use one of the outputs for HT passthrough (this is how they are wired - one can serve as HT pt via resistive coupling), I use the single output and a Y-adapter at the a... | |
| Tube amp is loud at zero volume it's hard to tell without seeing a schematic . . . but my first suspicion (knowing nothing about your amp)would be that the volume pot is broken. I've had it happen before on a guitar amp - the wiper separates from the shaft and stays wherever it ... | |
| Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies Crwilli - you're correct on both counts - my PSU failed when I had a power outage and it came back on. You'll also notice that when first powered on there's a hi frequency squeal that it puts out for probably 20-30 minutes until it warms up I assu... | |
| the Q-Up my table is a Pink Triangle Anniversary with a Roksan Tabriz Zi arm. The arm board is very small and it's a sprung table - there was a moment that I thought I would not be able to find a place to mount the Q-Up, but it worked out after all. Frankl... | |
| Income tax on the gears shiped to foreign country Unless you are running a business - it's duty that needs to be paid in the receiving country and it's your buyer who must pay it, not income tax. The IRS is not involved in that transaction. If you are running a business the "income tax" if there ... | |
| Buying Fewer CD's & LP's Because of Pandora? not me - Pandora is just for background listening. I need to listen to albums in context when it comes to serious listening. | |
| Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations? I have a Sony PS-X6 that I think is great. It's fully automatic which is the reason I bought it. I already had a couple of Pink Triangle manual tables for the extreme listening and wanted an auto for casual listening in a spare system. I was very ... |
