Looks like I'll be selling the adcom pre-amp for one with a phono input. Though I would like to follow the first option, there is no way in the world my budget allows. I'm just stepping in to the Home Audio world and would like to keep it small. If that TVC isn't a pre-amp in its own right then what is it? I see inputs and outputs and a volume control, isn't that just what a Pre-amp is?

T0P^ and out

Tues - Intro to Advanced Mathematics Exam (don't let the "intro" fool you) Wed - Mechanics of Solids Exam Thurs - Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Exam The electrical class I was completely lost on but studied last night and started picking it up, the Math test is a lot of memorization and hoping I don't get something simple confused, and I have yet to really study the MoS stuff

I took the day off at work to get a little extra sleep and extra studying in since I have a big week of tests coming and I ended up sleeping pretty much all of it away lol

So it wouldn't be worth it to sell off my 450 for a 400 or 500 with phono input?

Got to go to bed. For Sale thread probably going up tomorrow got some stuff I need to unload to get some new stuff

and I just noticed out of the GTP 400 450 and 500, the 450 is the only one that doesn't have Phono input. Why the hell wouldn't it and why do I always happen to by something and notice something really small about it has changed and makes a big difference. I might as well sell my 450 be out shipping and buy a 400 or 500

Wow, i feel like a legend has entered the room. Hello Nikuk!

Phack, getting this record player playing is going to cost me nearly twice as much as my pre-amp

What makes the phono different from normal RCA's? and I could have sworn that pre-amp had phono for some reason. that converter costs more than my pre-amp itself

a who? lol I'm going to be using a Adcom GTP450 Pre-Amp if that helps. The player has just regular RCA cables coming from it, along with a ground cable

Found a Technics SL-210 in the attic at the folks house, as well as a bunch of old records Going to get a replacement belt from http://www.turntablebasics.com/belts/technics.html Also needs a needle/cartridge. JimJ, where can I get the Shure cartridge that you mentioned? or what are some good budget minded cartridges? Would love to get this thing running again. Will hopefully sound great when I get some BIB's up, built, and running

Got my STMusic back up and running at the house. got a 3.4 ratio and just keep moving up . When I get some free time it will be download frenzy.

There site says it is rated at 4000x1@1ohm

This is very true, and a lot of people hear will probably agree with you, but for this application the user needs a lot of watts. It doesn't really matter if its a 2 channel or 4 channel or mono-block as long as it can put the neccessary power to the speaker. In this case though a good mono block amplifier is needed because no other kind of amp is as cost effective. Other amplifiers, such as Hifonics, you have to be weary as to if they even put out the power that they are rated at or if they can stand to be played at such a low ohm for extended periods of time with out breaking down or over heating With those subwoofers I would not look anywhere other than at 3000-D. You could also look at the Rockford T40001bd, but I think that would be even more out of your price range. Realize with the power you need to be putting out there will be a lot of wiring and atleast one extra battery more than likely.

Identity Theft T0P^

Travis was over at my house and left himself logged in so I posted those under his name lol, so those last 2 posts were from me.

Damn I'm tired. Time to head to bed, night H0P!
