| Add speakers lose power ? Yes, the POA-2800 has two separate speaker output pairs (red and black) per channel. Switchable from the front panel. | |
| low mass tone arm suggestion sub $1k used Grace 707. | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Speaker A = LEFT Speaker B = RIGHT GOT IT? | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Speaker A means the LEFT speaker! Speaker B means the RIGHT speaker! The Yamaha is a PRO amp for sound-reinforcement in a concert hall! That's why it has the Phone plug and XLR connectors on the back! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? If you had some Magneplanars the extra power would be useful! Otherwise you are just wasting AC power and increasing your monthly electric bill! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Why do you want such a big, heavy amp to use with the Polks? How big is your room? The Polks are pretty efficient! Average listening will only be a few watts! An NAD 3020 V2 would work just fine ($400). 40 watts! And a built-in DAC for streaming! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? This Yamaha amp will need RCA-to-Phone plug adapters to use the typical RCA-to-RCA cable. I have a set. You can buy a set online. Did you know this? | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Thank you for the pics! No, there are only outputs on the back for ONE pair of speakers! You will need an external speaker selector box (like my Adcom) to run two pairs from the Yamaha. But you cannot control the volume differently to the two pair... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? The matched A/B challenge is a longtime proven method - going back to Peter Walker's (who's he, the youngsters ask?) experiments 50 + years ago! | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? @mzkmxcv : +1! You might be the only sane person on this site! Kudos to you for bringing up the $10K amp challenge! I agree with you on this! Same can apply to DAC's! And wire, too! The MAJOR difference in SQ is first and last (and always) the SPE... | |
| Cimpliance Vs Cartridge loading Yes, a heavier arm (add a US nickel - 5 grams) to the headshell will help, along with some experimentation to the VTA! I own several variants of the 103 and they can be finicky to set up! | |
| Pre-Amp vs. Integrated...why? Another choice for the OP could be the NAD 3020 V2 integrated amp (phono stage, line stage, DAC, Bluetooth-ready). 40 wpc (twice that of the 2220) and pre-out jacks to drive a more powerful amp. Available from many EBay sellers for $400-500. I'd t... | |
| Pre-Amp vs. Integrated...why? The nice thing about the Bellari VP130 is that it is USA-made! I have the Bellari SUT for use with my mc cartridges. A quality product at an affordable price! | |
| Pre-Amp vs. Integrated...why? The OP can get a Bellari tube phono stage for $275 (free shipping) and use it into the AUX input on the 2220. EBay seller is "decibelaudio" in Chicago. Superior SQ over the 2220's phono stage! It uses a single dual-triode 12AX7. So easy to experim... |
