RE: 2nd set of speakers

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The output of the DDAR is PHONO CONNECTORS, NOT a PHONO SIGNAL.

It needs to go to a TUNER, AUX, TAPE, CD, DVD, VIDEO, TV, LINE input....in
fact any input EXCEPT Phono!!

PHONO inputs are EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL and have RIAA equalisation applied to
them. Even if you attentuated the signal to the correct level it still
wouldnt sound right.

Subject: [ukha_d] 2nd set of speakers


I'm wanting to connect a second set of speakers to my main amplifier
and have two choices on how to do it.

1) A, B, A+B speaker switch. Clunky!
2) A second amplifier fed from the tape output of the first (so it uses
its source select)

Can anyone recommend a very small and very cheap amplifier?  All I need
is a single input, speaker outputs and (ideally) an IR remote?

Oh, and when I connect the phono output of my DDAR to the phono input
of my amp it's monstrously over-driven. I guess this input is designed
for an analogue disk player (aka a record player!) and needs some
attenuation. Any ideas?
