    Sub Wiring Help Needed Please

    Both of course accept the output of an amp at "speaker level". If it is a passive sub, I think speaker level is more appropriate as it is used to drive a speaker. It also will be low impedance and you might hit problems if you connect it in parallel to the main speakers. If it is an active sub...

    Sub Wiring Help Needed Please

    This is about connecting the sub to a stereo amp. It wants the bass from both L and R. Your amp doesn't have a L & R. You have a 5.1 amp so you can do 2 things. Use the SUB (6) speaker out of the amp into the high level input or use the RCA out of the amp into the RCA input of the sub.

    Bluetooth turntable help

    If you like lossy compression, stick to the Bluetooth. It uses 320 kbs (SBC) but if you get a APTX adaptive receiver, it will do 420 kbs at its best. As a reference CD is 1411 kbs. You might wonder if it helps to spend money on 180 gr only to have it converted to a MP3 style codec. You are not...

    Connecting JAMO SUB 200 to Technics SU V 505 amplifier

    That is the right answer. It is a powered sub. The speaker level inputs are not used to draw power. Basically it is a high to low voltage converter reducing the speaker level signal to line input level. They have a high impedance so can be connected in parallel with your speakers without...

    Impedance vs loud music

    Damping Most of the time the headphone out of an amp is a matter of connecting the headphone out to the same power amp as used by the speakers. To avoid frying the headphone, a resistor network is used to reduce the power substantially. Nothing wrong with this approach but the result is an amp...

    Audioquest "Water" - discolored?

    Silver is prone to oxidize just like iron. Your problem is not the oxide but the DBS. DBS make the cable very sensitive to external influences like EMI/RFI: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audioquest-wind-high-end-cable-review.17065/ Better stay away from audiophile...

    long titles in Silent Angel VitOS Orbiter

    Most interfaces are designed with pop music in mind. VitOS is no exception to this rule. Try a feature request e.g. wrapping those lines. You might manually shorten the title to movement only. However often you will have a CD with a 3 English Suites so now you don't know which one of the three...
