On a whim I picked up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0049P6OTI/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">this one</a> for $16 and am now looking for advice on the other equipment. I am clueless when it comes to this, so please bear with me.<br> <br> <br> I will have two sources of music:<br> <br> 1) My main source will be a galaxy S3 that I use with a paid Spotify subscription (320kbs downloaded tracks) <br> <br> 2) I'd like to try out vinyl.<br> <br> <br> Questions: <br> <br> - I'd like to try out vinyl, but I don't want to get sucked into a "collector k-hole" like I have been with cameras. Just a simple, cheap record player. <br> <br> - What other equipment will I need for this? I know the phone has DAC built-in, but what about the record player? <br> <br> - Apparently I need a pair of high-efficiency speakers.... I attempted to look for an inexpensive pair, but the world of audiophiles is strange and scary. I'd like to spend, say, $100 for a medium-sized pair? I don't know if that's a crazy low amount. Again, I'm in the dark here. <br> <br> - The amp I got doesn't have a proper headphone jack, but obviously I can get an RCA-3.5mm adapter. Should I make considerations for using headphones other than that?<br> <br> -Any other advice I should have entering this world?<br> <br> <br> thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.233618 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:07:03 -0800 amps audio class-t dac speakers t-amp vinyl lattiboy http://ask.metafilter.com/177578/How%2DDo%2DI%2DWire%2DMy%2DHouse%2Dfor%2DSound I need to split the audio signal outputs (CD, tuner, Computer etc) to different amplifiers in my house, what do I need to do this? So I have a new house with several rooms. I have sets of speakers powered by little T-amps that will go in each room. The house is already wired with RCA cables to send the audio signal around and the individual T-amps will allow for adjusting the volume in each room, but my current main receiver does not have an output other than the Tape Out. Is there a switcher or pre-amp that has an input selector and multiple RCA outputs? I have been looking around on eBay and not finding anything that fits this description, just speaker switchers. I'm not even sure what this magical device would be called. Thank you! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2011:site.177578 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:25:10 -0800 audio home stereo t-amp misterpatrick
