    Schiit Modius popping sound

    I have a Bluesound Node 2i that I have connected to the Modius via coax out, then from the Modius to a Peachtree 220 amp via XLR. So I am using my 2i as preamp (variable out). I don't have a preamp in the system. I have just introduced the Modius into the system. Prior I had the 2i connected...

    California Audio Labs Icon MKII - Output Issues

    Recently picked up locally a CAL CD player for next to nothing, near mint cosmetically. Seller said that it only worked as a transport using the coax output and that the analog RCA out did not work. Sure enough nothing from the RCAs. Hooked up via coax to my Rotel A12 and it worked and...

    Cambridge Audio Sonata NP30

    Anyone currently have one of these units or have experience with one? I know they are old, but I am just looking for something that I can plug a thumb drive in with my CD collection in WAV format, then output it digitally to my Peachtree integrated. Will the NP30 also stream Spotify Connect and...

    HDCD and K2HD questions

    I just picked up a NAD C542 and it is able to play HDCDs. Currently it is hooked up to my Peachtree Audio Decco2 integrated amp via optical output to the Decco2's DAC. It's my understanding that in order to get the benefit of HDCD (from an HDCD disc of course), I would need to connect the C542...

    Power cable - change IEC to C7

    This is probably an easy question for most of you, but I'm a novice. Had a power cable laying around with the ICE connector. My sub has a C7 plug. I want to replace the IEC with a C7 connector that I have purchased but don't know where the wires go. The IEC currently has three wires...

    Subwoofer suggestions for a music only system

    I am looking for a powered subwoofer for a 2 channel music only system in my home office. Looking for something with tight bass, not booming. Don't listen at high levels so does not need to shake the walls. In fact something that still puts out bass at lower volumes would be perfect. It will...

    Apple TV as an AirPlay player

    Can an Apple TV unit be used to stream just music via Airplay from my iPad to my Peachtree integrated using the ATV's optical out so I can utilize the Peachtree DAC? This would be for a 2.1 music system only, so I don't care about video functions/streaming.

    Older Denon receiver having issues with left and right channel output?

    I have had a old Denon DRA425R stereo receiver for a while and it has now started to give me some problems with the sound. Ever so often either the left, right or both will go real faint with almost a hollow sound. This happens no matter what input is selected/playing. I checked the speaker...

    CD Ripping and converting software question

    I had over 100 CDs that were ripped to WAV format a while pack. I would now like to convert copies of them to MP3 (so I can play them in my older Infiniti's factory system) and also be able to cut the file size down. I would also like to use it for future CD ripping to other formats if...

    Garrard RC88/4

    Just acquired this from my father who was the original owner. It has been in storage for a long time. I cleaned it up and it looks nice. From limited research this was a mono table, but looking at the cartridge and wiring looks like it is stereo? It does turn on and spin, the speeds seem to...

    General DAC and Spotify question

    I currently have a Marantz MCR611 w/Polk Signature S20s as my home office system. It sounds nice and does what I need it to do. I mainly listen to my CD collection that was converted to digital files played through a thumb drive on the Marantz. I personally can't tell the difference from a CD...

    I am putting together a NAD Monitor Series system consisting of a 5000 CD player and 7000 receiver and these handles are hard to find. Does anyone know what (if any) model numbers for the rack handles that were associated with this two components? Or will the rack handles for the 4300 tuner...

    Equipment you still wish you owned

    If many on here are like me, I have bought, sold, traded or just thrown away broken stereo gear. Over the last 30+ years there are a few pieces that I owned, and for the life of me don't know why I ever let them go. Was curious what others have had that they wish they would have kept. For me...

    Assignable Bluetooth Adapters???

    I have been asked by my daughter's dance studio owner to put together new stereo systems for their two dance studio rooms. Of course they don't have much to spend, so I am just going to set up two identical budget 2.1 systems (receiver, L and R speakers and a powered subwoofer) in each of the...

    iPhone 6s Plus to an external USB DAC

    I have a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 and currently have my PC connected to the DAC's USB input and then to my computer by a long USB cable. Works and sounds great, but I am thinking of taking my PC out of my system. Is it possible to substitute my iPhone for the PC using the same USB cable to...

    Processor Loop IN/OUT vs Pre IN/OUT

    I came across an older Denon receiver that has "processor loop" in and out jacks on the back. They have the jumper pins in them at the moment. Is this the same thing as pre out and in? Would I be able to hook up an external amplifier using these inputs?
