| Emotiva usp 1 pre-amp All has to do with the gain of the units in question and the attenuation spectrum of the volume control. Not all volume controls attenuate evenly across the sweep. It is best when volume controls are used higher up as long as max volume desired is... | |
| How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions? I also use the Pangea cables, 9 & 14 se. | |
| Connecting Speaker Cables to Dynaco ST-70 Jetter, I did not mean to through you off by mentioning that I used these adaptors for bananas. I knew they could be used for bananas, spades, or bare wires. Sorry. I also used these for older speakers with small screw terminals. | |
| 100 - 125.00 RCA, and coax recommendations please Music Direct is (was) selling Audioquest Diamondback or King Cobra ICs at 1/2 half retail. Well made cables. | |
| Connecting Speaker Cables to Dynaco ST-70 +1 dekay. I bought the adaptors for banana plugs. Work well on my ST-70. | |
| Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls I should add that I sincerely hope your 'hum' issue is solved and you find yourself happy with your NAD integrated. I believe you have put together a very nice system based on a gift pair of classic speakers.Please keep us posted. | |
| Recommendations for used CD player I should add that I also got back into audio, putting together a new system once retired. | |
| Recommendations for used CD player I once owned the DL III. Good DAC for the money. However the USB input was not asynchronous. I used it with a USB/SPDIF converter. I sold it because I needed 2 coax inputs as I also wanted to include a transport.Cambridge Audio makes a transport t... | |

| Recommendations for used CD player I agree that an external DAC would be the way to go. Use the DVD player as transport. There is a SCHiit Bitfrost w/uber analog upgrade for sale here on AG, $290 I believe. Since you don't require USB input, you could search for an older very high ... | |
| Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls Yes, you will need 4 pairs. Isolate amp to a separate outlet on a different circuit.Does 'hum' occur with input to aux disconnected?I would not consider another amplifier until your 'hum' issue is resolved. | |
| Recommendations for used CD player Are you using the DAC within the receiver or going analog out from the DVD player? | |
| If I block the speaker, will it damage the drivers? Did you block ports on the Paradigms or the subs? | |
| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! I rarely recommend speakers, choice too subjective. Buy a used DAC from reputable seller here on AG. There is a Schiit Bitfrost Uber for sale now, at $290 would make for a good match with your other equipment. Finding a seller of used equipment th... | |
| Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls Hopefully when your friend gets back he can help. Until then I have two thoughts. I would not leave that much exposed wire on the speaker cables. If they short it will damage the amp. Buy some spade lugs for the speaker ends. You have a lot of eq... |
