Please help me for the choice

Hi,
my name is Alessandro. I have a question about the connection type for my amplifier. SONY TA-N7B

Rear connections possible are:
DIRECT or C COUPLED, (see picture) and do not understand the difference.


Thanks in advance,
Alessandro

Hi,

It means direct or capacitor coupled I assume. From the days all capacitors
were deemed to be evil in some way. If the preamp has a coupling cap the
amplifier doesn't need one and vice versa. Personally I think its a silly feature.

rgds, sreten.

I would probably use cap coupled just to be sure theres no DC voltage coming in from the preamp, and to make sure theres no DC feeding backward from the amp itself.

Thanks a lot guys, link cables in c-couple mode.
