I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to minimize the number of pieces. My dream system would be a streaming preamp wirelessly connected to active speakers. Or just streaming active speakers that have an adequate list of services.
I have family, so simplicity is a virtue.
I remember thinking back when you first posted your stuff/pages what an interesting but time intrusive job that must have been.
I've been able to get some real work done with
Flowchart Maker & Online Diagram Software
app.diagrams.net
With only a little practice you can work real fast with it. I save the diagrams as XML files downloaded via the web browser. And I export the final image with either print to PDF or screen shot like this.drawio

Oh, nuts.You can find the answer at the bottom of my first post!
Where in the hell do you plug in all that gear? (Welcome to ASR!)I did similar diagram some months ago, looking on how to simplify my setup (and also how to integrate the sub in the HiFi setup). In the end, I didn't change anything; I've just tried to use the Denon AVR as Hifi preamp, but didn't like it. Here it is.

I'm happy to be of assistance any time I can.I have been always much appreciating your kind attention and participation on my multichannel project thread which I started April 9, 2020.
Thx!Where in the hell do you plug in all that gear? (Welcome to ASR!)
DrOOL! That Sony TA-E1000ESD preamp is such a nice model. I was selling those when they where a current model. Very cool piece of gear...Mine is simple. So simple I could draw it on the back of an envelope.
Regrettably I'd already used the back for something else, so I've drawn it on the front instead:
Since I don't really know what I'm doing I think keeping it simple means less chance to screw it up.
Not really an 'ASR' system - pointlessly expensive CD transport, Class A power amp, no subwoofers.
But I do have PEQ.
you've started a trend
I love it. One of the best things I've ever bought. You can adjust pretty much everything - in 0.1dB steps.DrOOL! That Sony TA-E1000ESD preamp is such a nice model. I was selling those when they where a current model. Very cool piece of gear...
It's not only so capable it's beautiful from the machined front panel to the display and the colors and sensible arrangement to the controls and switches. A classic piece of gear. Very collectable.I love it. One of the best things I've ever bought. You can adjust pretty much everything - in 0.1dB steps.
I respect and totally admire the effort in a setup like this, but it's the reason I now have an AVR and a pair of good floorstanders. No diagram neededSo, let me start this new thread by sharing my diagrams and photos as follows; if you would be interested, please visit my post here #931 on my project thread for the details.
Thanks! It is much smaller than originally planned (added a bedroom for our younger boy, now long gone, that cut it by about 1/3 and trashed my carefully-primed dimensions).Nice room there @DonH56
