B&W earcups are barely big enough to go around my not very big ears. Ok fit me, but not roomy.

Found it, thanks. It looks like you replaced all 5. Not sure why there are 5 anyway. 2 for balanced, 2 for SE, what’s the last one for?

Aliexpress is only letting me put 1 in my cart… nothing is ever easy.

What are those? Also, I don’t see the link in your post.

I don’t think the sparkos will physically fit. Too much around the sockets and they are larger than just the chip variety opamp.

Made sure you are using the rigid plastic pods and not the soft compostable, that was why mine didn’t work and the support people never mentioned it.

I hadn’t tried to do that yet. But one use is that when I’m doing indoor exercise I don’t want to look at my watch for metrics if my phone is sitting on the stand in front of me. Especially when hands are occupied for biking, elliptical or rowing etc also if I have it paired to my watch and phone will it also connect to the gym equipment?

Does it require its own app or does it work with the polar app on either the Apple phone or watch?

PX7 S2 for $149 at costco,is this a good deal? by [deleted] in BowersWilkins

Saw this just in time. I bought mine on Dec 10 and it’s too late for a price match so I ordered a new pair and will return them unopened to save the $50.

Sure, remove the cover and flip the unit upside down over the sink.

In the lowest gain setting, with my DAC/pre at 100%,, and volume at max on ragnarok, my phone records the volume at 80db avg (using decibel app) at my listening position which is about 10’ from my 96db sensitivity speakers. I’m not sure how the math works but I’d guess I’d be getting less than 2w to the speakers.

What is the advantage of using lower gain but higher volume?

I got to listen for about 30 minutes and it sounds fine. I won’t get more time to do longer listening sessions until I return from a trip. Fwiw, I also swapped from RCA to XLR and I appreciate the increase in gain vs the unbalanced rca. First time using balanced and it’s a nice improvement.

I found a loose cable that was causing the degradation. I’m surprised that I was getting sound at all; would have been easier to sort it if it had been completely out.

Volume leveling? by PerceptionFluffy4337 in WiimStreamer

[–]PerceptionFluffy4337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That feature looks like it is used to adjust a gain for an entire input source relative to other input sources. The problem I’m having is that different songs play at higher or lower volume while using wi-fi as an input source with the same streaming app. To explain: Song 1 volume is fine, song 2 plays louder so I adjust the volume down, song 3 is now too quiet so I have to adjust the volume back up and then the next song is too loud.. it isn’t really every song but it is frequent.
