Be interested to know if anyone has tried it with success. are the physical pairs in the HDMI cable twisted correctly/tightly enough to act as a proper balanced shield. Although there would still a question in my mind re. and just look at it is as a cable with a bunch of wires inside and then use a balanced/unbalanced DI box at each end to convert/unconverted from a balanced connection. forget it's a HDMI cable and HDMI protocols etc. I like suggestion of just using the HDMI cable as a balanced cable ie. Never used them myself, but another option might be a pair of decent wireless TX/RX units to handle the link wirelessly, But as others have said you'll need to use your Project phono stage to convert the turntables output to a line level before feeling it into the TX unit and at the other end you'll need to use a line level input into your amp (and not the phono input). Introducing a conversion to HDMI, so that the AVR can then reconvert that back to analogue is pointless You indicate that you have the phono box MM. These can be attached to any line input on the AVR that AVR has plenty of these analogue inputs white and Red, associated with each input channel. There are plenty of extension headphone leads ,which are thinner than HDMI cable ,and these can be fitted with RCA to jackplug connections. If you must physically separate the units, then you would need to get a phono preamp for the turntable, only then could you consider going any distance with audio. An external phono stage box will also serve. The Phono stage on the AVR will do this but expects only a very short run of cable. Even more so it needs to be frequency response compensated. The output from a conventional cartridge is only a couple of mV in amplitude, and needs to be very carefully handled as the power level is infinitesimal.

Unless this has a built in pre amp and outputs a full high power signal, it cannot be used to drive any length of cable ,nor can it be fed into any convertor. On reading this I am not sure this is not a wind up., but on the off chance it is a genuine question. Better fidelity, maybe?Īnyway, thanks to all the comments here. So although I thought about using an HDMI to RCA converter, I have decided to go with the optical to analog converter. I rarely use ROKU movies but wanted to add the sound to the streaming system.

Up to this point I have used satellite and a satellite receiver with both HDMI and analog output with the TV system. I do have a networked AV receiver upstairs in my "man cave" which I just setup (Onkyo TX-8260 - Chromecast built in) driving a pair of AR-4x's) and that will get most of the audio streaming. The amp (receiver) is a Sony STR-D1015 with nothing but RCA inputs, no optical.īudget is not really a consideration, however this is a "supplemental" system for using the TV system as a part time sound source of streaming audio and to have access to the audio system for an occasional ROKU movie. (I wish I know more about electronics but I'd be afraid to try that for fear of damaging the amp. Since it is powered, I assume it would be too "hot" for using a simple 3.5mm to RCA cable input to the RCA jacks on the amp. The only analog output is a powered headphone (or I presume soundbar) output so that is powered but totally inadequate power for driving a pair of AR-3a's and a center channel, obviously. I don't think SCART was popular in your neck of the woods. Just noted you are across the pond so for Quid substitute Dollars. A second hand home cinema unit, which may even include DVD player, amplifier and 5 channel sound.īetter is of course a full blown AVR with HDMI ARC and this will cost from 400 to 10,000 depending on how many channels you want. Ann optical cable can be got for 8:quid.Īt this stage it is going to cost in excess of 70 quid. Next there are low cost Optical cable to RCA adapters. In some cases the SCART connection is either present or is a plug in adapter. Many TVs will still include the legacy RCA analogue outputs or a headphone jack ,so a simple RCA cable or 3.5 mm to RCA may be all you need. You have also not identified a budget if any. You have not identified the model of TV, and that affects all subsequent answers. Unless you are using HDMI this is redundant The ARC service on your new TV assumes it is going on into a HDMI input ,and has the ability to automatically switch it on and off if the TV is switched on. Many others of us here are also dinasours also.
