I believe (seriously) that Dave Wilson used an ipod directly into some parasound power amps to demonstrate some new speakers and to show that the speaker is the most important link in the chain. I don't have an ipod, but I would imagine the only way he could have done that would have been to use the headphone jack.
iPod directly into amp
What is the ebst way to create an operational system within my limited budget ($600). I own Sonus Faber Grand Pianos and an ipod. Nothing else.
This is going to sound horrible, but I am considering buying a used power amp and pluggin my iPod directly into it? I'm not sure how else I'm going to be able to afford suffient wattage to drive the SFs.
Here are my quesions:
1. What technical and safety considerations exist?
2. Is there another option?
3. What reccos do you have for an amp in this price range in the event this is feasible?
Here's the reason I ask.
