Yes, those would be suitable. Although as you may have noticed the 8 ohm version is listed as "currently unavailable."

Potentially controversial subject matter ahead. Thus post is recommended for mature audiences only. If you're in the school of thought that cables are voodoo, this post is not for you, please move among.
Now, to business.
I'm in the process of working in a set of Signal Cable Silver Resolution XLR interconnects between my DAC, Preamp and Amplifier. So far, I probably have only 20 hours or so of play, and if memory serves, Frank recommends 60 hours or more. Given the difference in amplitude from DAC to Preamp, and from Preamp to Amplifier, do you guys think it might be worth swapping them out (rotating them) to help balance and perhaps accelerate the process?
Thanks in advance!

I’m guessing this one would do the trick? If not, https://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Audio-Amplifier-Non-inductive-Resistor/dp/B00N8QYMXO/ref=sr... Or does it have to be 4ohm? https://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Audio-Amplifier-Non-inductive-Resistor/dp/B00N8QE2PM/ref=sr... I'm guessing that any load that matches the range of my amp output would do the job, yes? |
Either one would be fine, but again, just make sure that with the 4 ohm 100 watt resistor you don’t turn the volume control up so high that it gets hot. For that matter, though, using the 4 ohm 100 watt resistor might be preferable to using the 300 watt 8 ohm resistor because if the lower powered resistor is not getting hot it would provide you with assurance that you are not overdriving and clipping the amp.
