I have a Touch and a Classic. The Touch has long been connected to my
receiver, and the Classic has long been connected to my integrated amp.
This morning I turned on the Touch, but could get no sound. After much
fiddling around I swapped the SBs, now connecting the Classic to the
receiver and the Touch to the integrated amp. In this arrangement the
Touch worked with no problem, but now the Classic produced no sound. So
it appears that the problem lies with the receiver's line-in
connections. (I tried both a "Video" line-in and a "CD" line-in, but
neither resulted in sound from the connected SB.) Interestingly, the
receiver's Phono line-in works, and I can play LPs just fine.
Then I heard a very, very faint sound from the SB connected to the
troublesome receiver via the "Video" line-in. Sure enough, when I turned
the receiver's volume knob up all the way, I could hear the SB, but at
very low volume. But there was still no sound whatsoever via the "CD"
line-up when I swapped the interconnects.
The only thing that has changed in my system is the addition of a Schiit
Magni headphone amp/preamp, and a Schiit Modi DAC. Back in early January
I connected these to the receiver that is giving me problems. Until this
morning this set-up functioned just fine.
One more thing: For a couple of weeks I had my turntable on top of my
receiver. There was about a 2" clearance between the turntable and the
receiver, and I always turned off the receiver when it was not in use
(well, it was in "Standby" mode rather than "On" mode, so it still
received power). I guess there's a possibility that this created the
problem, "burning out" the line-in connections, but I don't know enough
about electronics to know if this could be the case.
Although this is, strictly speaking, not a Squeezebox issue, I'd be
grateful for any guidance you can provide.
Thanks,
Steve
