    Toslink - input switch and output splitter combined - issues?

    Would one expect to get some degradation in the signal quality if I connected a toslink switch (takes several inputs) to a toslink splitter (splits outgoing signal into several outputs)? I cannot find an input switch with several toslink outputs, if that exist.

    When 12 Gauge Wire is Not 12 Gauge

    Thanks again for both replies. I'm from Europe, quite far away from Kansas hehe. I looked for some pre-assembled, but mostly 4x the price compared to DIY. I have some proper banana plugs and that are easy to attach. I have a rookie question though, if I purchase 11AWG does this have any chance...

    When 12 Gauge Wire is Not 12 Gauge

    Sorry if I appear completely incompetent, as I'm pretty much hifi illiterate. But I cannot seem to find 12 gauge cable size which would be about 3.3mm2 in Europe. What I can find goes from 2.5mm2 to 4mm2. I have a Yamaha A-S301 and Quad S2 (8 ohm), no cables. In near future I'm planning to get...

    Amplifier for bookshelf speakers - rookie trouble

    Thank you for the replies! And happy holidays. I jumped a sale for Yamaha A-S301 at 250$. But I think I'm going to leave it unopened and see if any of the other Yamaha units above goes on sale in January; which I doubt, seeing that many of the Yamahas are already sold out. Anyone know how it...

    Amplifier for bookshelf speakers - rookie trouble

    Thank you for the suggestion. The WXA-50 seems like a really nice unit. I'm a bit worried that it will not be able to drive enough. Same goes for Loxjie A30, although I'm not sure whom of WXA-50 or Loxjie A30 deals most power. The Yamaha R-N803 seemed like a nice choice a step up. But I found a...

    Amplifier for bookshelf speakers - rookie trouble

    I have very limited knowledge about hifi, and I must admit that as of now I don't understand much of the charts except maybe the frequency response. I want to try a couple of bookshelf speakers the following year just for fun, and potentially some headphones. Good sound is nice to have / fun...
