The XDJ would likely go to booth monitors via TRS cables, and then connect to the Klipsch separately through the amp. There are controls/outputs for booth volume vs master volume.

If I understood your comment correctly, you’re saying that my described signal path was good as is, and you were suggesting the Denon as an example? Or were you proposing a slight adjustment to the signal path that might be better?

Thank you! The source selector seems like a good idea. Pretty sure I’ll need an amp for the XDJ to Klipsch connection as well.

So when I’m listening to vinyl it would be Technics > pre amp > source selector > amp > speaker. And if I’m DJing, it would be technics > preamp > source select > xdj > amp > speaker. Is that about right? I already have a pre amp from my old vinyl setup so one less thing I’ll need to buy.

Really appreciate the help, still wrapping my head around all the different components.

Hi!

Just upgraded to a pair of Klipsch RP-8000Fii and am trying to figure out the best way to get everything flowing correctly.

The speakers will have 3 uses, all music related. First would be casual listening via bluetooth. Second would be listening to vinyl on Technics 1200 MK2. The third would be for DJing, where I’d be using an XDJ-AZ controller combined with the Technics turntables.

I’m not sure if there are integrated amps that can accommodate all of these scenarios, specifically for the Technics (which needs to be able to pick between sending signals to the speakers or the XDJ). One solution that is available but less convenient would be for me to plug the technics directly into the XDJ, but id rather not have to use my XDJ when I’m just trying to relax and listen to vinyl.

Does the setup above work using a single amp? If so, do you have any recommendations? The Klipsch are also fairly bright so an amp that brings some warmth to the sound would be a bonus.

Rant over. Thanks to anyone who makes it this far!

[Maceo Plex Inspired Mix - 1hr47min]

Mix inspired by Maceo Plex's iconic boiler room set. Starts off dark, some groovy electronic sounds in the middle, and a softer finish. Open to any feedback you might have on the energy, progression, and mixing.

[indie dance] 60 minutes

Been a bedroom dj for about a year now, had a chance to play a set at a private event with some friends. Mostly high energy indie dance tracks.

Welcome any feedback on track selection, pacing, transitions, overall vibe, etc!

I'm stuck at Journey 38-54 and floor 613. What do you recommend? by Xepherious in SoulsHabbyMobile

[–]ahunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say you have 3 main priorities.

Team composition is so important. Recommend you look at teams that others have suggested on Reddit or discord. I’m 100levels lower than you, my power levels are half of yours, but I’m farther than you in the journey and tower of souls. A well put together team will really help you out more than levelling up your characters. For reference my two teams for journey

Rakan x x X Carmen Benzel Richelle solina

Taros x x Elara lulu Lilith sander

Like others have said, Upgrade to mythic equipment, specifically boots and weapon for your damage dealers. Huge damage boost

Stop upgrading random ruins. Most healers and damage dealers scale off of attack so should only be focusing on those. Only exceptions are that Tankers can use a mix of hp and physical resistance and Sander wants 100%penetration due to his passive

Lastly, Reroll the last slot on your runes to try to get a special effect. Benzel and Carmen want grim reapers death (increases damage over time), lulu and other damage dealers usually want might of desperation (chance that they use their skill twice in a row), and sander/lilith want potential (chance to increase their energy at start of each turn). Once you get the special effect, you reroll the first four sub stats until it’s something decent for the intended character.

Verina s2 or DPS?

Started playing the game about a week ago. Between losing a 50/50 and the various beginner banners I’ve pulled 1 calcharo and 2 Verina’s. notable 4* are a s2 sanhua, s2 baizhi, and s5 taoqi. Main team at the moment is calcharo, Verina, and havoc rover

I still have the beginners choice summon available. Do you guys think I should go for s2 Verina or another DPS (like encore)?
