I can't see how the CS could possibly work with a "table". Preamps aren't really necessary for modern digital processors and are esentially just a hold over from the Vinyl era when the signal actually needed to boosted and, if I understand correctly, equalized. I can't see how a passive "preamp" (which doesn't actually "amplify" anything and takes advantage of the fact that digital signals only need to be "attenuated") could possibly work for your application.

Has anyone paired up the Central Station with L3000's?

Where does the Lavry DA 10 fit into the DAC choices. Some threads say it is better than the DAC 1. Does it have a headphone amp? Can it run with a balanced output to a Re-cabled headphone for balanced listening? Other than cost, how does the SQ of he DAC compare with the central station???

The DA-10 does have a headphone amp which works best with lower impedance cans (Grados). It can run headphones directly out of the balanced outputs (works better with higher impedance cans).

Unfortunately, I can't answer the question about SQ. I haven't heard the DA10

The CS seems to be VERY powerful, but many units are returned due to errors. However, I'm from Norway and would like to buy one of these babies. The price over here is $1050 !! And I won't buy anything on eBay, due to lost warranty and possible errors to the unit. I've also read that the power supply is mainly aimed towards the US market, and needs modifications in order to be used in other countries? Is this a fact?

In Norway we have 230V voltage at 50Hz compared to the 120V at 60Hz in USA. Also, the power-cord needed over here is a IEC320 - CEE7/7.

How should I proceed in order to get a normal-priced unit which works with the Norwegian power-supply?

Help

Hello All,

I have the Presonus Central Station and I am wondering if there is an easy way to set it up as a speaker switcher? I have an amp and pre amp and was wondering if someone could suggest how I could wire the central station up to be a speaker switcher.

Thanks for your time.
