Hi folks,
I have a new Onkyo receiver SR505 that I really like. But I kinda caught the upgrade bug. I've been upgrading my the speakers that came with my htib, and I'm starting to look a little further down the line. I would eventually like to get a 2 ch. amp for my fronts. Problem here is that my receiver doesn't have pre-amp outs. I want to keep this receiver for awhile, so I'm looking into speaker level to line-level converters. Craig_Kg posted how he obtained this on this thread: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=122693
: I used a 10k Ohm resistor in series with a 470 Ohm resistor for a 20:1 attenuation. The speaker out is bridged by the series resistance (10k Ohm to +ve) and the RCA out is taken across the 470 Ohm resistor (ground to -ve).
The 'point' is to allow a high quality 2ch system to coexist with a cheap HT receiver.
I would like to try and diy a converter the same way. Only problem here is, I'm an electronics newbie. Anybody willing to help walk me through this project?
