Hi, silly question, or not? I have a link to my DAC from PC USB port. And from DAC to Pre-amp. Since it is primarily a headphone DAC. Should I control the music at pre-amp by setting the DAC pot to fully open, or just half way? And then controlling the volume by the pre-amp nob? B

So this is a rather in-depth question that involves mainly curiosity on my part. Looking at something like the Trinnov Altitude 32, which is a wonderful device in its own right, I am wondering at the cost. I'm still new to this, so I'm probably missing something obvious, but: Assuming you...

I have my old Denon 3808ci, that is capable of 7.1, and I would like to upgrade to something that does 4k, etc... without having to spend the price of a small car on a new unit. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with buying a new pre-amp and link it to the 3808 to drive my speakers...

Just sold my nice 5.1 setup and moved into an apartment. I have two M-AUDIO self-powered monitors that sound amazing. I'm strongly considering sticking with those, as I won't be able to buy a subwoofer anyway, and I detest soundbars. The problem is that I don't want to invest in an expensive...

I had a Pioneer VSX-1022 and my turntable was hooked up into through a cheap Pre-Amp. It worked. I replaced the VSX with an SC-1223 (three years ago) and plugged in the turntable the same way. I could hear the record I was playing, but only at maximum volume, and turning down the volume made no...

I have been a heavy Linn user for a long time, and my AV system for the bedroom is mostly Linn (AV 5105 and C6100 amps, Espek Aktiv speakers, Linn surround, center and sub speakers). Up until recently, I then used a Linn Classik Movie (2005 version) as both a preamp and a DVD player and was...

selling for $200: physically, the condition is 9.5/10. aside from the dust cover, it looks pretty much like it did in 1968, the day it was made. it recently started playing significantly slower than normal. the last time this happened, i got the idler wheel fixed and it worked great after...

Hey AVS Folks! this will be my first post so If i make any stupid rookie mistakes please forgive them. Lets get to the situation: I Currently have a Pair of Martin Logan Theos electrostatic speakers that i got for a crazy deal, (Close to Half off!) I also have a center, sub, and rear channel...

So I have a quite embarrassing question I need an answer to. Basically, I've been having some trouble with my subwoofer lately, and I was just setting up my sub-amp over again to make sure the amp wasn't the problem. So here comes the embarrassing part. I have the Zachry DSW-230N, and it has...

I recently got back into vinyl by purchasing a Pro-Ject Carbon DC with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. I'm enjoying the whole experience and am looking for my 1st upgrade, a phono preamp, to replace the Behringer PP400 I currently have. My budget is $250 max but under $150 would be great. I want...

Hi Everyone, Brand new to here and excited to join and learn! I upgraded my Pioneer Elite VSX-84txsi to an SC-85 yesterday (still not sure how much sound improvement there is yet, different post coming) that I use for my HT and TV viewing. I also have a Technics SU-V7X I use for my turntable...

Hi - I recently installed a large (~14 foot) antenna on top of my garage. I bought a pre-amp/amplifier kit from Radio Shack, have the pre-amplifier installed on the mounting pole under the antenna and have about 120 ft of RG-6 running into my house. The cable runs down the side of the garage...
