    XBox One S - using it in place of a laptop to stream networked music to DAC

    I know, lengthy title! I currently use Jriver as the server on the home PC (Windows 10) and stream music to a Windows 10 Laptop which connects via USB to my Emotiva XDA-2 DAC. We are moving and I may need to find a way to integrate my son's Xbox One S (XB1S) into the system and I figure if I...

    TEAC A-H500 decides which input its going to let me hear

    So in the last week or so my TEAC has had a habit of either sticking on a single input (almost always the MD input) or letting me choose the one I want and then part way through changing to another input and staying there when I turn the selector knob! Anyone ever had an amp that won't stay on...

    Lower volume on one channel - TEAC AH500

    Hello, I have lower volume on one channel that I need to adjust balance to get equal; clearly not a solution. I have swapped the speaker wires at the unit and it follows the wires. I also tried different wire and it did the same. I used a Technics receiver and the speakers both provided the...

    The Dual just ain't working out

    Story: My friend had a Radio Shack TT that gave up the ghost so I offered to set her up with a decent setup for $175 and she agreed. Got her a new phono stage(the ART DJ Pre II) and a new cartridge (AT95E) and a nice condition Dual 1019. Set it up with stylus weight guage and got it...

    Work colleague having issues with old Magnavox Micro Matic

    He knows about my interest in audio and asked if I could help him resolve a sound problem. I don't have time right now to go over to his place so wanted to try and see if the learned bunch here could throw some light and some suggestions. I'll post links to two audio files he recorded: one is...

    I'm so bloody excited

    I just bought a TEAC TN-400 from an Aker. I don't have it yet and might not for a few weeks but I'm buzzing. Already researching the 3009 II Improved arm to see if I want to upgrade. Got a woodworker friend (he's building my Tubelab SE chassis) interested in either repairing or creating...

    Hooking up my sub to my Tubelab SE 300B

    So I am trying to plan ahead for what equipment I want to take with us when we move. I drew a picture of what i think it will look like. I would like to hook up my SE to my Epik Valor sub which is also going to do double duty as the HT sub. I have read I can just wire in a second set of...

    Epik Valor voltage question

    I can't see a way that my Valor will run on 240V but I desperately want to take it to the UK with me. I could use a converter but that would be a last resort. Does anyone own one? Any idea if there is something i am missing? This was the most reliable of the Epik range as far as I can tell...

    Dual Voltage?

    Are there any specific manufacturers that provided a dual voltage option on a tape deck or is it much like with TT's they only operate to a specific voltage/hertz configuration? Thanks.

    Using Bluray player as method of streaming digital

    Probably used the wrong terminology so if I explain my needs and current setup I hope you can advise. Moving to UK so need to buy a Bluray player when we get there (will be taking US bought Oppo BD93 for playing US disks). Currently I stream from my desktop (via network cable) though my laptop...

    Opinions on this Variac?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-VARIAC-Output-0-130VAC-3AMP-60Hz-NIB-/261387645709?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cdbeaf30d Seems to have the right qualities for testing a new amp build. 3A will be sufficient for a 300B based Tubelab SE build, right? Thanks.

    Can anyon recommend a person/company to 'service' my speakers in NJ?

    My N.E.A.R. 80's are likely around 30 years old and it wouldn't hurt for someone who knows what they are doing to replace some caps and generally check them over. If anyone on the forum can recommend someone in NJ that would be great. The speakers have some Bozak components in them but they...

    Information on a trash find

    A friend of mine found this in the trash and brought it home. He cleaned it up, rewired the tonearm and sanded the wood. He also found a box of tubes with it, many with boxes, which I haven't had a chance to look at. He is eager to get some information on the console. Thanks.

    Wes in VA - top guy!

    Can't say enough about the positive experience I had with Wes. It probably goes without saying but this chap personifies what AK is all about. The sign of a True AK'er is how they deal with a situation that doesn't go to plan in my opinion. First class gentleman is Wes. :tresbon:

    Using Mogami Quad to up cable capacitance

    So I recently became the owner of a lovely Dual 1219 (bought from an Ak'er, a lovely gentleman). It has the Shure M91ED cart and I have been reading that this cart demands higher capacitance than many more recent carts. Between 400 and 500. I know I have 150pf in my phono pre and the...

    Wanting to avoid a problem

    I have a Magnavox 185 amp built by GeorgeW from AK. Lovely little piece. I want to know if adding a tube preamp to gain a little more volume is likely to harm it. The audio chain would be: Turntable - SS Phone Stage (Vista Phone+) - Tube Preamp (Chinese 6C19 x 4 / 6F2 x 2 / 6N6 x 2) -...
