Django TVC (BD-Design)
I've been interested in building a TVC with the S&B trannies and this kit would make it real easy. The problem for me is that my music listening room is also the family home theater. I would like to use my BP 300B/Lamhorn (rear loaded Lowther)for front speakers and main music system. The music system would consist of the defacto turntable-phono pre and CD player connected via RCA's to the TVC which is output to the 300B amp. I would like an additional input (RCA type) which will come from the HT processor but have an HT bypass switch wherein the volume pots are bypassed during HT usage. I realize I could simply turn TVC volume controls to full volume, assuming I've wired it for zero gain, however with teenagers in home, I fear it could get left that way and find my self with blown Lowther drivers next time someone wants to listen to music only. Is there such a bypass available standard with the Django kit? It could even be a tape loop. If not, can it easily be accomodated? I'm thinking a small relay switch powered by an alkaline battery but you may have something better or easier perhaps?
Also curious if the Django is available with more than one set of outputs as i would like to upgrade to an Oris Reference system at some point with the 300B's powering the Oris 200 and either your kit or something like an 845 powering the bass unit in a biamp setup. Thank you in advance for your input, have a great Holiday Season.

Hi Michael,

even be a tape loop. If not, can it easily be accomodated? I'm thinking a

something better or easier perhaps?
There is no standard bypass or tape loop present. The Django has three RCA inputs from which you can modify one easy to bypass the transformers. You coud also use the XLR input for this purpose.
There are two switches, one for ground options and one for XLR-RCA choice. If you do not use one of these then you can use one for your HT setting or do this with a relay (powered by your HT-processor if it has an output Voltage to turn on/off the switch).
Also curious if the Django is available with more than one set of outputs
as i would like to upgrade to an Oris Reference system at some point with
the 300B's powering the Oris 200 and either your kit or something like an
845 powering the bass unit in a biamp setup. Thank you in advance for
your input, have a great Holiday Season.
There is always an option to use two outputs (XLR and RCA) at the same time but this could give "problems" due to the lower total impedance the Django will see when you connect both amplifiers in parallel.
If you would connect the Reference systems as suggested on my Webpages then you do not have to think about this, no problem for the Django.
Ciao,
