The Stereo Project: I need a phono pre-amp?

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-need-phono-pre-amp.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Saturday, February 19, 2011. I need a phono pre-amp? ART DJ Pre-Amp II. Record players produce a relatively low signal compared to other stereo components. I’m sure there’s a good reason for this, but I don’t know it. What this means is that if I were to plug it directly into the Sonos player, it would be way too quiet. Even with the volume all the way up. Ampcessories DJ Pre-Amp II: $30.00.

The Stereo Project: A little more background on the original stereo from the VP's

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2010/09/little-more-background-on-original.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Saturday, September 25, 2010. A little more background on the original stereo from the VP's. Editor's note: Ken and Sue VanderPloeg (my in-laws) originally owned the Zenith integrated stereo. What follows is their account. We purchased the stereo in 1964 (fall) or early 1965 in Columbus, Ohio. It was stored in Eva VanderPloeg(Ken's mother)'s house during our army years - October 1966 - October 1968.

The Stereo Project: Adding the cool factor: Dual 1249 Turntable

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2011/02/adding-cool-factor-dual-1249-turntable.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Friday, February 18, 2011. Adding the cool factor: Dual 1249 Turntable. The record player is the second most important component of the whole system. It’s going to be highly visible and as an ex-indie rocker from the 90s, I had to be sure that it struck the right balance of obscure and quality. Like a Fender Mustang. After an obscene amount of obsessing, I settled on a Dual. Next, remove the wrapp...

Denon's own online museum, alas only in japanese and alas, only with small images. Diatone's surviving audio activity - loudspeakers, of course. Setup in 2005 for apparently one 'speaker only, the DS-MA1, which cost. 2,000,000. Marantz' online museum (JP). Marantz' own online museum, split into four sections, themselves leading to separate timelines. Rather scant, alas.

The Stereo Project: And the iPod connection completes it

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-ipod-connection-completes-it.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Saturday, February 19, 2011. And the iPod connection completes it. An iPhone 3g plugged in to the line-in. Finally, and for some people this is the most important feature, the iPod connection. I wanted to preserve the iTunes functionality since it would be nice for guests to be able to come over and plug their own iPod right into the stereo and have it work. Apple Composite AV Cable.

The Stereo Project: Networking the thing

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2011/02/networking-thing.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Saturday, February 19, 2011. NETGEAR XAVB101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit. In order to work properly, one of the Sonos in the network needs to be physically connected to a router. Not only do they get content from the web, but they use the network to create the ‘mesh’ they use to link the zone players. This created a problem for me. The room where I wanted to place this had no phone jack.

The Stereo Project: What could have been

http://stereoproject.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-could-have-been.html

Converting a 1968 Retro Zenith Integrated Stereo Console into a Modern Digital Multi-room Entertainment Hub. Saturday, September 25, 2010. What could have been. During my research, I came across the Peachtree Audio Nova. I immediately began lusting for it. It looks beautiful – the perfect balance of retro but modern. I really liked its minimal lines and the tube looked bad ass. What really got me was its full integration of the Sonos ZonePlayer 120. Peachtree Audio Nova with a Sonos ZonePlayer 120.
