Hi Folks,
I have this BSR DAK 1, and someone here said they were using theirs with vinyl, so I thought I would try it. These may seem like really dumb questions, but hey, that's me.
I'm using a Music Hall 2.2, so no preamp in the TT. I'm running it through a Yamaha R-S300 receiver, into the phono input. I go to connect it and realize, first, what about the ground wire? Can I just leave that connected to the receiver and move the RCA outs from the TT to the DAK1? A little annoying because then I'm very limited as to where I put the DAK - has to be right on the receiver (or else I extend the ground wire I guess). There's no ground connection on the DAK, but I could attach the ground wire to one of the case screws on the back, would that work? Thoughts?
Second, if I just run the TT RCA outs directly into the DAK, say into the "Tape In", and then out from the DAK via the "To Preamp-Receiver" into the Yamaha phono input, do you think I'll have any issues re the signal strength or anything? The DAK is AC powered but I don't know if it does anything to the signal other than apply the filters - I assume not.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
