| Certain frequencies hurt Not an expert but your headphones are probably enough load to keep your transformers from being damaged but I'm not sure. The Senns are listed a 300 ohm which is kindo high. The Hifiman are 50 ohm which should keep your amp happy. I'd be tryin... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? Two totally different amps with totally different sounds. Yes, the Pass is a much better amp. However, I interpret what you say as a clear indication that you like tube amps better. sell the pass and buy an $8000 tube amp and you will be much... | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices I am disappointed with the current trend that those who don't work are so quick to spend money that someone else earned. they didn't decide to spend $2k in a vacuum. all their friends are doing it. Not surprisingly, few breadwinners are. Jerry | |
| Chord M-Scaler burn-in advice/input welcomed If ASR hates it, it must be good. Excellent contrarian indicator. I assume you are wired but I’m surprised how many people are trying to stream wirelessly. I first tried the m-scaler with my DAVE while wireless (trying to figure out how to get a ... | |
| No HDMI out from 4K 85" Sony My Denon has a port marked "eARC" that helped. | |
| No HDMI out from 4K 85" Sony @erik_squires Got it working as you describe....not sure I'll keep it this way as it is more convenient to leave my 2 channel sound playing through my main system for occasional TV...but good to know I've got it working. thanks. | |
| Triode wire silver statement power cable vs Verastarr grand ilussion power cable I just googled them. Neither tell me what size the condutors are. I could not find the silver statement listed at Triode labs. Silver is a better conductor than copper by 7%. However, that is not enough to allow downsizing one standard size, e... | |
| Mcintosh 2301 tube amplifier, how much power used from the wall? I haven't done biamping and don't generallly think it is a good idea. I have no problem with trying it but most try it and move back. Your amp has plenty of power for just about any speaker. The "rule of thumb" that you need an external crossov... | |
| No HDMI out from 4K 85" Sony My smart TV (LG) seems to have the same problem. I haven’t really dug into it. I stream with an HT streamer which I send to my HT reciever and then just use my smart TV as a monitor. For watching 2 channel TV (most shows are not in surround soun... | |
| Mcintosh 2301 tube amplifier, how much power used from the wall? 99.9% of the current that comes into the amp ends up as heat in the room. The good news is that the current drawn is always well below the nameplate. For example, my Decware ZMA has a max current of 3 amps at 120 v is 360W. Measured power is abou... | |
| Streamer with toslink output When I had a node, I found the toslink inferior to the other choice(s) which I think was coaxial (digital) out. Jerry | |
| Picture worth a penny LOL!!!! Haven't seen this but it seems to be a running joke that the unemployed are selling feet photos on the internet. I don't think this is what they meant. | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? Gordon who? I run ROCK on a NUC with no problems. You don't want other programs running on the same machine. Jerry | |
| How many of you streaming? I enjoy being able to listen to full albums. I have a few dozen I like to listen to. There are lots of songs that the rest of the album is not worth listening to. these end up on playlists. | |
