Hello all, I thought it would be good to put together some simple instructions to integrate a turntable, or any other analog source, into a 2022 wifi streaming environment. My own experinece tells me there are at least two reasons one would want or need to do this: 1. There is a tendency...

Hello gang, I think I might have a problem with my new sub. But as it is also my first sub I am not sure it is a real problem, so wanted to ask here…. The sub is a SVS SB-1000 (non pro, but new, probably one of the last ones around). The problem is that whenever it is on, I can hear a...

Hi, Yes, starting today i am living the worst nightmare of a music aficionado. Had a pair of floorstanders and started to think of going bookshelf, one reason being space. Put them on sale "to see what happens" and in 24 hours they were gone, and i had no plan-B!! My system currently consists...

Hello team, I wanted to share with anyone interested these easy to follow noob-proof instructions to build something that i think can be a very handy device for very little money. The motivation: Not long ago, and thanks to folks here, i decided to go ahead and do some room correction in my...

Hi, I am looking for a decent 6 channel power amp that i can find used in EU at a good price. I know the obvious answer is an AVR, but i prefer something with a cleaner fascia and smaller (if possible). I know the "small" part won't be easy, but there might be something out there.... What i...

Hello all, I am in the process of placing my Allo Volt +D in a (plastic) box different to the original and with very limited ventilation. As I will use it mainly during summer I am thinking on attaching a fan to the box with a Normally Open temperature switch that I plan to place in contact with...

I have been doing some changes in my system recently (basically going balanced) and as a result buying/selling some stuff. I guess it is no news for anyone that prices are somehow crazy. Devices that were launched one or two years ago are now more significantly more expensive that when they...

Hi, I use an integrated streamer/DAC/amplifier so if i want to apply some equalization to music played from a NAS it needs to be done "upstream", that is, somewhere between the NAS and the streamer. To have a desktop computer or a laptop continuously on to do this is no option for me. Before...

hi, I own a Pro-Ject DAC box USB since many years ago. I know it is old and cheap, but it is also very small, still looks great, and does everything I need (I also use it as a sort of preamp to switch between sources), so no need at all to "upgrade" (and generate more junk we don't need on...
