It's all good, man
I did wonder about the price, and you may well be right, it's probably way too cheap to be very good.Way too cheap, you won’t get much improvement for those prices
OK, I've restructured the pricing

Right lads, it’s been a long, difficult journey. There’s been highs, lows, drama and heartbreak, but I’m pleased to say we’ve finally made it to the peak of Bullshit Mountain.

You could just stick RCA inputs in a box and connect them directly to RCA outs, and these deluded fucks would start talking about improved soundstage and chocolatey warmth, and the more expensive it is, the better it will sound.

It’s just got 40lbs of copper in it hasn’t it.
Outstanding. Close the thread.

Not just a cable but a Music Hose®... have downloaded the manual - favourite line so far" When either the ACC 169 or173BW interfaces are installed in a top-tier system, a musical presentation will seem faster and begin to“pop” and “hang in space”,"....nothing more annoying than slow musical presentation tbf...should've put some red strips on the box

Copper is expensive. It's most likely concrete.
Can I ask a genuine question? Realise this is a pisstake thread… but someone may know the answer to this dilemma
I have a set of active speakers, these are in my living room and connected via optical to the tv. I also use these for Bluetoothing stuff off my phone etc. I’m happy with these speakers basically. They do exactly what I want with one exception below…
I also have a Cambridge audio cd deck and separate amp in this room, and a separate amp. Both bought second hand a while ago and originally used with some old passive speakers that I no longer have.
If I connect cd player -> amp -> active speaker aux I get no sound. When I had this set up with passive speakers I got sound, and could regulate this via the amp, and could have it a variety of levels, including the critical “not disturbing the neighbours late at night level”.
If I connect cd -> active speaker aux and bypass the amp, I get sound but even the lowest volume level on the active speaker is too loud for listening while considering neighbours. Would have to raise my voice to be heard above the music. I’m using the same cables. This lowest level is noticeably a lot quieter if listening via Bluetooth or another medium.
What’s the solution? Any help gratefully received

You don't need an amp if you have active speakers, the amp is built into the speakers
Ok, so then I suppose the amp within the active speakers doesn’t work very well with my cd player? Maybe I’ll just have to listen to my CDs in the car instead

How are you plugging your CD player into your active speaker?
Saul Goodman
It's all good, man
Unless it's a pass-through from the amp, or a line out, you're doing it wrong. Any input should come from the pre-amp, or direct from the CD playerCan I ask a genuine question? Realise this is a pisstake thread… but someone may know the answer to this dilemma

Assuming it's RCA out, you could use something like these to control the volume.
Using an RCA cable. Same thing I used to connect it an amp previously
It is rca out into the active speaker. So that device basically functions as a volume control between cd player and active speaker
My conclusion is that if I retain this setup then I no longer need the amp

From a line level output on the cd player?

I've just retired my Arcam amp, but I also retired my CD player, as I realised I'm living in this century

Into a line level input on the active speakers?
Penny has dropped. Maybe I should sell it.
Fair point. I have plenty of CDs still and am barely in the 90sI've just retired my Arcam amp, but I also retired my CD player, as I realised I'm living in this century
Into the aux on the active speakers which I assume is correct?

No idea, I'd have thought it would be line level, but without the manual, it's hard to be sure
Bought something like that - it does the job! Thanks for your help!

A quick look suggests that at as much as £2k, these speakers are about 5-10% of the price they need to be to feature in this thread, preferably we'd be looking at speakers in the £100k plus range. like these beauties:
Wilson Benesch Eminence
$249,000
Some others here: Editors’ Choice: Loudspeakers $100,000 and Up - The Absolute Sound
worth every penny, who wants etch with their whip-fast dynamics??
(serious note: very happy for you as speakers really do make a difference to the sound and those look great... there's definitely a point where audiophilia kicks in with speakers though... )
