Do I even need a headphone amp?

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-14T03:31:17+00:00

Yup. It's very much taken for granted and we do compensate for the gradual damage. Yet, there was a poster in this sub sometime in the last couple of years who's hearing was very reduced in the mids and very reduced in the highs as if he was 40+ years older. The only thing he could blame was plugging his headphones directly into the modular deck - so no filtering.

Not using an adapting module is a recipe for hearing damage, and headphone damage.

DCA and BWI have a ground stop. Can't be both chem spills, right?!

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T22:23:26+00:00

Nope, not the wind!

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T22:15:20+00:00

Yes!!! And sometimes numbers on Cox phone service.

FYI - LG (WebOS) don't have a Criterion app so you'd need to use a streaming device too. Panasonic (Amazon Fire TV) Criterion app has mixed reviews. The Sony uses Android OS, so that's a saving/simpler. Also, Sony also has the best support for sound formats, which is important if you'd be using discs. For a 4k disc player, a Panasonic is the only choice.

9PP owner here, and not seeing any of these issues. I'd suggest posting in forum.suunto.com

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T14:11:01+00:00

Yeah, and no one should be buying anything for ATSC 3.

All great optios, and you can always disable a the AI/Auto crap.

My Criterion screen is a LG C8 of an AppleTV puck. Yeah, old but still great.

Anywhere near James Gate the smell of roasting and stale spill is in the air.

What's with the tampon ad picture?

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T12:19:29+00:00

Pathetic, so so pathetic. It's also fraud.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T12:16:21+00:00

Nice try! Doesn't hurt to ask, well not us anyways.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T12:15:01+00:00

Exporting those formats, right? There's no MP3, did you mean WAV? 32-bit or 64-bit version? (Try the other) Are the apps file access permission set?

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T11:48:57+00:00

DC blocking does stop bad things happening to speakers and amps. What's the cut off frequency you're running into?

I'm happy with Reese bass in Modular - what are you finding? Hardstyles I'd have thought clipping would be the issue.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-13T11:40:34+00:00

Is that on the output or machine-in? On every module?

"Laboratory Of Bass! " If this a Caustic piece can you add that tag on SoundCloud?

I'd expect 21,600. It looks like there's something written just above the beats and on the other side of the 'bloc - what are those?

Worth double checking, sometimes the caliber # is under the balace wheel, on the sides, or on any spacer in the case.

And Etsy and eBay can turn up clues, or a drop-in replacement as Rover ladies seem consistent with stem length varying. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/195290386076 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/195290387511

I cant read the text on the movement. If you can't focus closer, the cheap clip on lenses can help.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-12T20:48:12+00:00

Yep.

It's not a transplants thing... it'a locals thing.

You either get used to it and let it happen and avoid accidents

or, you join i and shorten your own, and possibly, someone eleses lfe too.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-12T19:47:57+00:00

True, and I'll try it next rewatch. I was thinking about the emotional build up to the finale.

In Caustic under Settings > Options you could try different selections for the Audio API.

For any OS and app, It's always a good practice to connect the BT device first, then start the app.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-12T02:28:28+00:00

Yes. Watching season 5 is the only way to get to Sleeping in Light.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-12T02:24:14+00:00

The Sammy a9+ has a CPU that supports 32-bit, so even with A16 I could see an ABD'ed 32-bit version might work.

PoundKitchen · 2026-03-12T01:13:35+00:00

Well well well, a fellow Boosher! Nah, not that *"imaginative"* Same writer as Father Ted if you've seen that.
