| CD Player into amp? I've had many CD players with variable volume control connected directly to power amps. If you have a single source system (CD only) it can be a very economical way to go. You obviously save the cost of an extra interconnect cable and pre-amp. I'v... | |
| Few Problems with Computer as Source Sounds like "lack of sync lock" between the source (toslink output) and the DAC. I've heard what sounds like a similar sound between a regular CD transport and DAC too. Do you have the ability to try a different "transport" like a CD player or DVD... | |

| Loud Humming. Sounds like the classic ground loop problem caused by cable/satellite TV connection. Larry is right, this problem is so common that it has been covered many times in previous post. A search of the archives will provide you with various different b... | |
| How to add a Subwoofer to 2 channel stereo setup? AON,Typically an active/powered subwoofer will have both line-level and speaker level inputs, speaker level outputs and sometimes even a line-out. If the sub has a line-out, you can connect the subwoofer in a "loop" between the pre-amp and power a... | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? It all depends on how you have it connected. If you connect your CD source and any other 2-channel music sources, directly to the integrated amp, and not through the HT receiver, then the HT reciever doesn't even need to be turned on when listenin... | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? Jeff,Yes, you will be sending the signal for the L&R front channels through 2 pre-amp/volume controls when playing HT sources. It is not the optimum setup, however it will not cause any problems. Considering both pre-amps/volume controls are o... | |

| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? Jeff,HT bypass is not required, it is just a bit more convenient. You can do the same thing using an integrated without HT bypass. You simply use an unused set of inputs, i.e. AUX, tuner, etc. and connect the L&R front pre-outs from the receiv... | |
| Continuation Best Small budget speakers for girlfr Pedrillo,Did you ever mention what amp would be driving them? If you don't already own an amp, any of the actives start making even more sense.
