Re: [slim] Amplifier that SqueezeBox can turn on?
Can anybody give some figures on the power consumption of these amps when in standby ie. waiting for a signal to wake up. I've looked around on the websites of the manufacturers and cant find anything :( Cheers -- cparker cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Isn't the Preamp Volume Control not only for digital output? Does the Russound have a digital input?

On 4/8/07, Peter wrote: Looks interesting. Am I correct that you can also connect a TV set to it and it will switch to whatever source (SB/TV) is supplying audio at that time? And the sensitivity is such that it won't turn off the amp if you're playing music at a low volume? I needed to use my amp for several sources (including TV and the SB), so I got the Harmony 880 universal remote. This lets you turn the amp on and off with the SB, automatically, as well as set the input on the TV. Unless, that is, the amp is an NAD, which doesn't allow power switching via remote (at least, mine doesn't). I used X10 to solve that for a very low cost by buying: - infra-red receiver (IR543) - infra red remote to program the Harmony, although you might not need this (UR19A) - one appliance module (AM466, I think) These were each about $10 each including shipping, on eBay. Downside: you need to already own a universal remote, or it becomes expensive (but the Harmony is well worth the money, IMHO). Powering off and on also produces an audible 'click' that some might find irritating. Upside: you get a one-button-on for any of your amp sources. You also get to control other devices with your Harmony, if you want to buy more modules; think light dimming, projector screen motors, etc. Cheers, Geoff ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Amplifier that SqueezeBox can turn on?
i also use the amp-switch at: http://www.gwendesign.com/slimserver/dev_hard_and_software.htm#ampswitch it works GREAT for me! with it, my SB3 wakes me up every morning to soft music - fantastic. it controlls a cayin A-55T tube amp, which fortunately switches directly in to play mode. i also have to have my SB3 plugged in to the CD input on my A-55T, because it is the default power-on input. unfortunately, my BOSE companion speakers for the office dont do that - when power is switched on, they go to stand by mode. so when selecting an external amp to use with amp-switch, make sure it comes to life directly, and not to standby or mute. also check for default power-on inputs. if all that is not agreeable to you, than amp-switch is not your product! dom -- dcote dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Amplifier that SqueezeBox can turn on?
Yes, the Russound has sufficient sensitivity adjustments to turn on even at low volumes. I also use Slimservers Preamp Volume Control option for further fine-tuning. The Russound also has TWO inputs with auto-switching to whichever source is active. I haven't tried that feature yet, but do plan on eventually feeding my TV audio thru it. -- sleepysurf squeezebox2 (with elpac linear psu) benchmark dac1 modwright swl 9.0se belles 350a reference ml summits. blue jeans cables. sleepysurf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sounds like a nice little amp. That would be my preferred setup just an SB, a TV and two hifi speakers that produce all the sound. Unfortunately my current TV doesn't have volume control on its line out. I already use Felix' Amp-Switch, and I'm quite happy with it, but it doesn't help with the TV sound...

Re: [slim] Amplifier that SqueezeBox can turn on?
I had the same problem in my kitchen and bedroom. I now use two Sonic Impact T-Amp's there, they're very cheap and they sound good to me. They use very little power and don't hum or hiss so I just leave them on all the time. In my living room I use two powered studio monitors that I switch on and off with the AmpSwitch plugin and a little circuit that hangs off the IR port, that could be another option for you.

[slim] Amplifier that SqueezeBox can turn on?
I am looking for an amplifier that can be turned on automatically by SqueezeBox for my bedroom. I have in-wall speakers of modest size and an unpowered subwoofer, currently attached to a stereo receiver. To use my SqueezeBox as an alarm, I need to keep the receiver on all night. As a second alternative, anything that would power on my receiver when the SB needed it, and off when not would be great (although I doubt it has a soft-power-switch/standby mode). I have kind of a similar hope for my Bose Wave Radio, which we have in the kitchen. It would be nice to have the SB remote control that, at least power, and perhaps the Aux button. Any help. -- tharrison tharrison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
