Mr. RF62 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi All, I am thinking about purchasing an amp to power my mains. I don't need one to do the other three. I am running a Marantz SR-6004 receiver. I know Emotiva makes some great stuff, is there anything for us Canadians that is a reasonable price? I don't think Emotiva does much in the way of warranty for out of states customers. Someone may know more. Also, how does one get an amp that turns on when you turn on the receiver? Thanks guys.

willland Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi All, I am thinking about purchasing an amp to power my mains. I don't need one to do the other three. I am running a Marantz SR-6004 receiver. Your ad title mentions integrated amp but I think you mean outboard amp. If you are okay with used gear, this is a great choice. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649039767-anthem_mca2/ Also, how does one get an amp that turns on when you turn on the receiver? You connect a 12v trigger cable from the receiver to the amp. http://archive.anthemav.com/OldSitev1/frames/mcafr.html Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks willand! That 12V trigger cable is just a 1/8" at both ends correct? Mono is fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 If you use some type of power conditoner/surg protection this can also turn everything on. I use my power console to turn on everything in the right sequence so the whole system sync well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 derrickdj1, I have limited knowledge regarding these conditioners, do you have to physically go to a switch to turn it on or can you do it by remote? The unit you are talking about, is it the Rocketfish HTS-120??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I purchased the conditioner from Best Buy for $120.00. I just cut the tv on and everything powers up in squence. This avoids handshake problems and no popping noise from the speakers when the amps fire up. It killed two birds with one stone, I needed a surge potector/power conditioner for the system and a way to activate the entire system with just the touch of one button.
