| RCA to Optical Converter @jbs and @erik_squires Based on what I see on the back of the receiver and according to the manual, there are a set of preamp outputs as well as a set of preamp outputs for a second zone. @jkampmeyer - I'm going to ask a dumb question, so please... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room As @erik_squires mentioned, big speakers can make things difficult. That said, 14x10 is not too small in itself. It can be made to work. Going with a "Near Field" listening setup and typically not cranking up the volume (as it is an office..??)... | |
| RCA to Optical Converter @jkampmeyer Something is not making sense here. Here is a link to a Onkyo TX-8050 receiver currently on eBay. Is this what you have? https://www.ebay.com/itm/406013771468?_skw=Onkyo+TX-8050&itmmeta=01K1ENMJTDYR410M8VBE5NXHTB&hash=item... | |
| RCA to Optical Converter @jkampmeyer Also, you would need to use the "Pre Out" L/R outputs into the Digital converter that @gkelly posted. And, with not completely understanding what you are trying to accomplish, remember, it will only be a stereo signal into the sou... | |
| Need advice on digital inputs @soix you beat me to the answer.... | |
| Need advice on digital inputs With the analog outs on the Cambridge connected to the analog ins on the NAD, you are using the Cambridge's DAC. To use the NAD DAC, connect either the optical out or coax out on the Cambridge to the NAD input. The coax connection should give yo... | |
| Moving Roon to new core @evanpress You are correct except one thing. Once you have restored the backed up database, you will have to copy the ripped files from the MAC to the Nucleus One. Once the ripped files are copied over, you will have to go into the new Roon Co... | |
| I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. @firstonetallguy Sounds like you were happy with the sound of the BHK preamp and it's home theater bypass mode before it developed a fault. It is, or was, a nice pre. Any reason why you don't get it repaired by PS Audio? It might just be a ba... | |
| Powering a center channel with a two channel amp +1 @jea48 and @muvluv @vacerator You are over thinking things. Your Marantz has preamp RCA outputs for each channel. Left, Right, Center, and surround channels RCA connections. Connect the: Marantz left preamp output RCA's to the left in... | |
| Powering a center channel with a two channel amp Is there a reason why you can't run the MC352 using only one channel of the stereo pair? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the MC352 is solidstate and not class A? If so, it should be able to run without a load on one of the stereo channels. | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? @erik_squires Double check the models. The one with 6.5" woofers is $40k. The larger one with 8" woofers is $70k, but I would not be surprised to find deep discounts. Sorry... I meant to say the model down (the $40K - Diva Utopia) from the ... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? @erik_squires I mean speakers but at $70k a pair I have a real tough time holding back on the absurdity. Agreed. If they were trying to design something that had a good WAF, or wanted to connect with the masses by selling them at Pet City, t... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? Yes, thank you Erik (@erik_squires) It was a purrrrfect post to remind us all that this is a hobby and is supposed to be fun. Something that seems to be missing in these forums more and more... Oh well, guess we just need to remember the words of... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? What's the point of the grill over the midrange... give the cats something to hold onto while the swat at the unprotected tweeter? | |
| Just got a new power amp At the risk of dragging out the "balanced" discussion, and for what it's worth, my statement about the S300 being fully balanced came directly from a conversation with PS Audio and from their literature. They state the S300 is a dual mono amp wit... |
