Hi-Fi Separates: what are they, and why would you buy them? Basically, these audio units connect your music system to speakers, amps or receivers to amplify your favorite songs, to give the room an overall new audio experience. While hi-fis have come a long way from their origins as pocket stools, in the modern age they're a great addition to any home entertainment system and can really help customize the look and feel of your room. But what if you want to go hi-fi with the design of your room? This article will explore that possibility.

The beauty of integrating hi-fi separates is that you can take the look of your hi-fi system with them. That means no wires to hide and no bulky equipment to carry. If you choose, you can also get separates that plug into your existing speakers so you can continue listening while your television is off. Audio Scaleurs allow you to expand your audio experience, adding better speakers and amplifiers while maintaining all of your cables and hardware in the same place.

There are a few things you should know before you set out looking for hi-fi separates. First of all, you need to decide how many speakers you're going to use with your unit. Audio Scaleurs allow up to three sets of stereo speakers. Two stereo speakers will usually have surround sound capabilities, which some people enjoy more than others. The number you choose will depend upon how much you want to spend on your hi-fi system, and whether you want to listen to music or videos while watching your favorite TV shows.

Many hi-fi systems also have digital sources, meaning they allow you to watch movies and watch TV with your favorite music selections. If you do not already have an external dac then you will probably need to connect it to your computer through a USB port. Some people prefer to use their digital sources through their DVD or VCR player. If you have an old VCR with the backglass for the recording, you can remove it and use it as an external source if you connect it to your VCR. It's a simple process and one you may want to keep track of if you think you may want to change your audio system in the future.

When you choose your speakers and the external dac, you need to decide where you're going to locate them. Your new hi-fi system must be installed at a strategic location where it will be easily heard by everyone in your home. In addition to being strategically placed, you should also choose a place where your electricians and plumbers can access easily without being obstructed.

Your speakers, also known as your hi-fi system, should be within easy access of the audiology equipment. If you have a separate room designated as your hi-fi section, you should purchase a unit with two to four speakers so that you can hear both audible and recorded sounds from your home theater system. A rotel 820ax is a great choice for most situations because of its high quality construction and the fact that it is small and lightweight. It comes with an aluminum plate on which the speakers are mounted.

If your main preference is for classic rock, jazz or top 40 hits, the rotel 820ax is a good choice. The compact size makes it ideal for a desktop unit. It has a control knob with an automatic lift-up function for loading the turntable quickly and easily. The rotel 820ax also features a front-loading base with a built-in shock absorber that makes it compatible with all electronic devices. It has a line input, but you will need an audio cable connected to a CD player.

If your system includes more than one audio source such as a stereo or a set of speakers, then an external dac/scepter would be useful. You can connect this device to your home theater or your personal computer through the USB port. An external dac/scepter also enables you to transfer audio files from your computer to your home theater or recording system without losing any sound quality.
