Stereo Receivers
Again, as stated elsewhere, Receivers are the back-bone of any
Home Audio System. When one is referring to a Stereo Receiver, it usually
implies a 1 or 2 channel / zone Power Amp, as opposed to a Home Theater or
a Multi Zone Digital Audio Receiver. As with other Amplifiers, these Hi Fi
Stereo Receivers provide most of the connections to the rest of your HiFi
system. As with others we have discussed, they often include a Preamp that
controls which audio source is selected, processes the incoming sound signals,
and distributes the audio to the left and right channels. We here an General
& Install Necessities carry models by Audiosource, AMC, & others.
Many Stereo Receivers are fully capable of running a whole house
digital audio system without the need for an additional Power Amplifier. Most
have outputs for 4 or 8 Ohm operation. As with other Home Audio Receivers
we have discussed, some of these units have multiple channel / zone outputs
for whole house audio. If they do not have multi channel capability, one will
have to worry about low impedance when connecting multiple speaker pairs to
one zone. Impedance is a measure of resistance, calculated in Ohms. If too
many speakers are connected to one source the ohms or resistance can become
low and potentially damage the source. Hence, if your source does not have
multi zone/channel capability, one will have to use an impedance matching
/ protecting device. Connecting impedance matching volume controls in line
from the source (in series) will achieve this. One can achieve the same desired
effect by connecting the system through a multi zone speaker selector with
impedance protection.

General & Install Necessities, or GIN Electronics, is so named because
we deal in Custom Install Products, and G.I.N. is a clever acronym for General
& Install Necessities. Besides, the owner loves Martinis!
We began selling over the internet in the year 2000. In the huge world of
the internet, a little unknown company like GIN Electronics is easily lost.
Hence, we treat our customers with great respect and give them great customer
service and thus we have been getting many customers by word of mouth from
our satisfied customers. We also, for customer security, have implemented
Paypal as a means of payment. Paypal is probably the safest and most trusted
means of payment on the internet.
The long-term goal for GIN Electronics is of course to stay in business and
prepare for the future. However, a home with a good AudioVideo System is a
harmonious home, and we plan on spreading the wealth of music and theater
as long as we have customers that want to enjoy them as much as we do.
Here at GIN, we will point you in the correct direction and put together
a system that fits your needs and budget. Once we have completed a win-win
transaction, we can all relax and enjoy a dry martini. Good Day & Cheers!
