. . . do you have to throw and buttons do you have to push and knobs do you have to twist before music comes out of your loudspeakers?
How Many Switches . . .
- Thread starter Ron Resnick
- Start date
I think I count fifteen (15). That's seems like a lot! This thing is too complicated.
If I'm at my PC or whatever, I click or touch the app icon and then click the Play icon to listen to what's previously been playing. No physical switches - the streamer powers itself up with the app's prompt and this triggers the amps in my speakers. If on my feet, it's one touch of a button on the streamer, then a second touch of it's LED screen to select music source. That's it!
What's your start up routine?

just to start up. How many while changing records. Mike has a routine where he mutes, turns up the light, changes records, changes cart, changes dial on phono for that cart, puts off light, unmutes
4-6 depending on source.
I leave the DAC on so really I usually just hit power on phono stage, line stage, turntable, then amp. So four to get things going.
For the records I gave two more, one to engage the Continuum vacuum hold-down, and one select turntable speed. (There is an optional third on switch which shine a blue led on the front panel of the Continuum which I turn on for visitors only.)
It's pretty easy.

...I leave everything on, so a couple of taps on the iPad, depending upon how I want to search.
my sub tower amps, both digital chassis, 4 Taiko Tana anti-resonance devices, and NVS tt power are always on unless i'm out of town---11 buttons.
so in addition to those 11.......
for digital listening only; 3 buttons plus select a track---preamp on, amp 1, amp 2.
for NVS listening only vinyl---6 buttons---tt light, preamp on, move selector to proper phono input for arm, hit play on tt, amp 1, amp 2.
tape listening only----10 buttons----both decks, all 4 preamps, preamp, switch for 1/4" or 1/2", preamp, amp 1, amp 2.
using all tt's vinyl only-----13 buttons---turn on CS Port and T1, DaVa PS, FCL PS, 5th Taiko Tana anti-resonance, 2 power supplies of the EMIA, preamp, amp 1, amp 2. plus each of three anti-static device as i use it.
i do leave the CS Port and T1 spinning while doing a vinyl session more than just with the NVS.
lots of buttons. turning things off is something i pay close attention to, then check my work.

Ron, you're so pressing my buttons now.
Gosh, with some of these double-digit numbers of switches, you must be very keen to listen to music! And leaving stuff on 24/7 must add a lot to your electricity bills. My full system "standby" consumpton is a worrying 1.0 watts!
Does anyone use remotes ?
turning on a system can have an order to follow
one wrong move can be catastrophic to speakers.
the 6 home pods in my home office is very simple.
Roon on an iPad to control roon server to homepods.
does this insult anyone
I even play vinyl to Roon radio to HomePods lol.
vinyl even like this is a pain but I use a auto lift to help.
