Ramsey SHA1WT Stereo Headphone Amplifier - Assembled

Product Description

So, you buy a really good radio or CD player, go to plug in your headphones, and there isn't a headphone jack! You find a line level jack, plug in your headphones, and they sound terrible. Sound familiar? Most good quality gear lacks an earphone output, or if there is one, it is woefully poor quality. We developed this kit to help us listen to our mixers, reverbs, voice recorders and other audio goodies. We took a pair of LM-386 250 mW audio amplifiers, added volume controls, power supply and a handy, switchable, high-cut filter. A common 1/4 stereo earphone jack is used for the output - assuring compatibility with all stereo headphones - and RCA phono jacks accept standard line level input signals. There's plenty of volume and of course, the Fi is quite Hi. The SHA1WT is for those that just don't want to build a kit! It is factory assembled & tested, and all set to go. Comes with the power supply and is ready to use.. Runs on 9 to 15 VDC. Includes our AC125 power supply. Includes an attractive matching case measuring 5 W x 1 1/2 H x 5 1/4 D. (Did you know the leading manufacturer of high-end table radios recommends the SHA1 to all their customers?!)

1 out of 5 stars Decent amplification marred by hissing and scratching........2007-12-04

I tried this amp primarily with a pair of Sennheiser 555 headphones. The amp had enough power to drive the headphones and it greatly improved the sound, especially with lower frequencies. Unfortunately, the entire time that the amp was on, it would emit an annoying and persistent hiss. Additionally, I would consistently hear a scratching sound every three seconds which was even more irritating than the hiss (I tested multiple audio sources to find out of this occurred in each and it did occur in every source). Lastly, when you turn the unit on or plug your headphones in, you'll hear a very loud pop through the headphones. Though most headphone amps do this, the pop from this amp was especially loud. It was loud enough that I feared it would damage my headphones if they were exposed to this many times throughout their lifetime. Though this amp has good driving power, its low quality components create irritating and unforgivable background noises. I had to return it.

1 out of 5 stars hiss and interference.......2006-03-24

This amplifier sounds good, except for the problem of background hiss and some sort of radio interference.

The hiss is persistent and audible with every headphone i've tried, and the radio interference is very bad- the noise changes pitch and loudness depending on the orientation of the amplifier.



5 out of 5 stars Great for Headphone Lovers with Bose Systems!.......2005-03-24

I was so irritated when I discovered my $1200 Bose 3-2-1 Series II system did not come with a headphone jack. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be such a biggie, but we had just purchased a $500 Sony DVD recorder/VHS combo (also, no headphone jack) to pair down our equipment. And guess what? Our DirecTV Tivo DVR doesn't have a headphone jack either! We were S.O.L.

Not a single component had a headphone jack. We could either re-hook one of our junkie DVD players through the system or we were out of luck until I found an article online about this Ramsey Headphone Amplifier.

THANK YOU RAMSEY! It's amazing to me that Bose makes and sells high end stereo systems WITHOUT headphone jacks when they make high end headphones?!@$?? WHAT??? That doesn't make ANY SENSE! Also, Bose informed me that if I plug my Bose headphones into any other branded component, it will lose sound quality. What choice do I have? You can't plug in headphones where there ain't no jack!

Anyway, this Ramsey unit will allow you to use audio cables to plug into your Bose and then you simply plug your headphones into the Ramsey unit. It is the only way to fly when you've got headphones, a Bose system, and no other components with a headphone jack.

We are back to enjoying our wireless headphones again thanks to Ramsey!

    Product Description

    Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.PRODUCT FEATURES:16: 9 Aspect ratio;ATSC digital tuner;Progressive scan;Faroudja DCDi inside;1080i/780p/480p/480i compatible;HDMI input;High resolution display;3: 3 and 2: 2 Pull-Down with motion compensation;Parental control with V-Chip;Detachable speaker panel;SRS surround sound;Closed caption;Unique tilt stand;VESA wall mount compatible;Remote control.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    An affordable choice for home theater, the 32-inch Audiovox FPE3206 saves space with its detachable bottom-mounted speakers and a removable tilting base, which enables you to mount the set to a wall with optional VESA-compatible hardware. This set has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner as well as an ATSC tuner for over-the-air HD reception. You can also view high-definition programming (1080i/720p/480p/480i) when connected to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box via the component video inputs.

    The FPE3206 features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, which helps to eliminate the jagginess found in non-HD video content. FaroudjaÕs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

    This set also performs automatic 3:3/2:2 pulldown detection--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

    This set has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 176-degree viewing angle, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) You can also use this set as a PC monitor via the DVI connection, which can also be used to provide uncompressed digital video from compatible set-top boxes. Other features include picture-in-picture (PIP) capability, closed captioning, V-chip parental controls, and SRS surround sound. It provides the following connections:

    Tech Talk
    Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

    DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device. This universal standard for connecting flat-panel monitors is also used for data projectors, plasma displays, and digital TVs.

    What's in the Box
    LCD TV, composite A/V cable, AC power adapter, remote control (with batteries), removable stand, printed operating instructions

    4 out of 5 stars Simple TV for a good price........2007-11-26

    My girlfriend bought this TV when it went on sale for $600 at a local store. It's a pretty nice TV considering it is a "budget-flat panel." We don't use it for HDTV but as far as SD it does a good job with picture quality, not as good as say a Sony, Samsung, Sharp, or other high-end TV, but for the money it's a great TV.

    I also use it with my XBOX 360 and it does a suprising job with high-def games. It is NOT a 1080i screen like the other reviewer said, it is 720p. In my opinion if your not going 1080p, go 720p, theres hardly a noticable difference between 1080i and 720p-in my opinion.
    On the downside it only has one HDMI input, but it does have two component inputs.

    There is also a VGI input, not DVI like the description says, so you can't try to convert another HDMI source into DVI. It does an alright job displaying as a monitor for my laptop, but we just use it as a TV.

    If you're looking for a good TV for the bedroom, kids room or den, this is a good choice for a low priced LCD.

    4 out of 5 stars Audiovox.... Dont they make Stereos sold at auto parts stores? Well they also make a great TV.......2006-12-04

    I bought this TV from a local retailer while I was also lookin online here at Amazon. Due to the brand name I never looked at the Audivox line. Well I am glad that the price drawed me to an awsome TV that my children enjoy since I put it in the play room for the console systems and occasional movie. If you want a great value this is your purchase.

    They dont mention it is 1080i do they... We'll it is and my son's XBOX 360 games look great on it.
