| Airport Extreme to DAC .What Sfar said, but you could use a Mac Mini in the rack and if you wish run it without a monitor or keyboard once you get it set up. You can control it from another computer, iPad, iPhone, etc. You can store your music files on a drive to the ex... | |
| Itunes ? .that sucksI assume you can see that drive otherwise?You could restore a time machine backup from before you updated.You could load an older version of iTunes http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php but the new version may have altered your library so i... | |
| Active crossovers .I used a Behringer before I switched to this set up. It was highly modified and did sound pretty good. The output opamps were bypassed and I used Dave Slagle (Intact Audio) transformers, the clock was replaced, and a linear power supply used. I'm... | |
| Active crossovers .You don't mention a budget but you could go the computer route like I did. Take a look at my system.The Behringer is amazing for what it costs but you'll get a LOT better performance with a pro audio interface like RME and others.. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .what Elevick said is the answer - both of his posts.BDG, no, he said to run the Lexicon through tape loop which will not work. In fact, I don't really know what that means. How do you "run something through the tape loop"? What you said will work... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .Elizabeth,What he said about the tape loop or what he said about just using the Lexicon?. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .I considered that too but since I have no experience with either decided not to comment.. | |
| Sending pre in for service, need volume controller .Can you solder? You can build one with Radio Shack parts for $20 or so.Google "passive preamp diy" for info.. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .When you use the splitter you are effectively hooking the 2 preamp outputs together which is never a good idea.I haven't used a tape loop in a while but I don't believe that would work as described. The tape in from the Lexicon would be controlle... | |
| SET amp recommendation .If the 12 ohm load of the zeroformers remains relatively flat a 300b amp would love this load.As long as you can live with the loss of power. I believe these calculations are correct.from 12 to 4 ohms is 3:1 for the impedance ratiotake the square... | |
| SET amp recommendation .You don't really have an SET friendly set up at least for your typical 2.5 watt 2A3 or 8 watt 300B amp. Doesn't your speaker manufacturer recommend at least 50 watts?If your speakers are 91 dB 4 ohm and you multiplied it up to 12 ohms the trade o... | |
| SET amp recommendation .Yet another thread with too little information.......You had a 50 watt SET so I'm thinking a 1 Watt SET might not work well for you but just a guess with so little info.What speakers do you have, how efficient are they, what kind of music do you ... | |
| Is this preamp mod to reduce gain advisable? .too little infoAre you talking about a transformer on the phono input or the power transformer but the latter doesn't make much sense?Which preamp?Why do you want to reduce the gain? I agree that the closer you operate any volume control to wide ... | |
| Ref 3 Impedence Mismatch HELP please . the output impedance of the ARC goes higher as the frequency goes lower.Good point, any idea how much that would be? I have no idea what size caps they use. There is no good way to fix this- either Bigger caps? I realize that most would be reluc... | |
| cd player or computer with dac .Jtinn,If I recall correctly at one time your were registered as a private user and posting high praise about things you were selling with no mention of your affiliation. With that in mind I did think a warning was in order. I see now that you cha... |
