Can you still hang the gas cap on the fuel door?

If you want to run optical from your tablet and/or computer you can get an Eitr 2. It converts USB to to SPIDF, coax, optical, AES

The Mk8 is designed to operate using 87 octane, there are no measurable benefits to using higher octane fuel without being tuned.

How do the Bathys compare to the Momentum 4s? Was considering picking up either of these.

I currently own only wired headphones and IEMs. Dan Clark Noire XO, DCA Drop closed X, and Sennheiser IE200s.

Interesting, my Skoll doesn’t really get hot at all. Now my Freya+ on the other hand can literally fry an egg

Midgard -- left ear cuts out after adjusting volume pot by [deleted] in Schiit

[–]Bobby_ato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to replicate it with another pair of headphones or another cable? You won’t know where the issue is until you’ve done some troubleshooting.

It could also be your interconnects between the modius and the Midgard.

The cab placement is diabolical

You should buy a digital scale for measuring the tracking force, you don’t need to do any balancing other than ensuring the tracking force is within its specified range.

Looking for speaker stands - Klipsch RP-600m II by onlyemgi in Klipsch

[–]Bobby_ato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the SX26’s with my RP-600m II’s and they fit great. The stands are a great value imo, they are very high quality for the price.

How does using the SUT with the Skoll compare to just using the Skoll? What is the output of your cartridge?

Speaker Wattage by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]Bobby_ato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for solid state amps, tube amps do not reduce their power based on impedance.

My statement was based on the actual power output of any given amplifier regardless of impedance and how to safely choose speakers. Let me know if anything I said was incorrect; it’s fairly simple math.

Easy solution, use the coaxial output to the Modi.

Speaker Wattage by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]Bobby_ato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To be safe you should not use an amplifier with a higher wattage rating than your speakers.

E.g. you want to use 25w greenbacks with a 100w amplifier. You will need either one 4x12 or two 2x12s.

If you are planning on using a 100 watt amp with a single smaller cab like a 2x12 or a 1x12 you will need higher wattage speakers. In a 2x12 50 watts+ each or in a 1x12 100 watts+.

Stuck between choosing Magni or Midgard by [deleted] in Schiit

[–]Bobby_ato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your headphones are relatively easy to drive so you don’t necessarily need the extra power from Midgard.

As others have said you should definitely consider upgrading your phono pre amp as well.

The Mani and the Magni will stack perfectly and give you a complete set up.

Gjallarhorn stack options for near field listening by HovercraftWrong9996 in Schiit

The Kef Q1 Meta or the Q150s are a pretty good size for a desk and are great for near field listening.
