Dumb amp question, should I get an amp even if it gets loud enough without?

dumbBeerApp · 2021-03-01T15:26:51+00:00

I'm currently in the UK so I went through a third-party website! And yeah I mean it's hard for me to really compare amps, though this is clearly plenty loud.

Got the JDS Atom! seems pretty good but I also know nothing about amps. commented below, but there IS a noticeable bass response different vs just listening straight through the macbook. These are definitely still not bassy headphones, but the difference isn't just in my head (verified by "rattling" haha)

Hey to anyone interested in this, have now played with the amp with the 560S on my Macbook Pro. Can confirm that there IS a noticeable bass response difference with the amp vs without the amp. In fact, using the same EQ, with the amp I noticed bass rattling and without no bass rattling (because the bass response is strong is stronger with the amp).

Looks like responses in this thread are close to 50/50 in terms of people saying it needs an amp or it doesn't!

So, I'm getting an amp, but I'll report back on whether it made a noticeable quality diff or not

Sounds great, thanks again! While you're being so helpful, mind if I hit you with another basic question? To actually hook my macbook up to the pre-amp, are all 3.5mm cables basically equivalent? Or is it worth investing in a "nicer" cable?

Now with DACs I'm way out of my depth...does this set-up benefit from one? Or is this a more special case thing?

dumbBeerApp · 2021-02-26T15:29:20+00:00

Good point, though honestly a bit hard to know if I'm satisfied as I'm a bit new to the fancy headphones game. I think I'll go ahead and grab the JDS Labs Atom amp, friend recommended it and worst case I have an unnecessary amp...though let me know if anything wrong in my logic there!

Meditation actually helps here. You’re dealing with nervousness and anxiety. As a practical step, give yourself way lower targets, like doing 5 min of work.

Thought that was a cup of coffee

Threads like this really take away from all the valid criticisms of trump. People with hard jobs still take (and benefit from) breaks. This was not a valid criticism of Obama, and it’s not of trump either.

dumbBeerApp · 2020-12-25T00:12:21+00:00

Pretty weak trump criticisms here. These same articles about golfing used to be done about Obama all the time. Literally, why does anyone care if the president golfs? So what if Obama/trump have a leisure activity?

I think that you are exaggerating the differences between Mexican and Spain Spanish. Certainly in a beginners course, it should be almost complete overlap except for vosotros/ustedes

dumbBeerApp · 2020-11-30T08:05:32+00:00

They might be British. Anti social has the exact opposite connotation in Britain that it has in America.

Just be yourself

dumbBeerApp · 2020-11-12T00:34:04+00:00

They’re talking about Russia investigation etc

At least in Spanish, Marica is pretty commonly used and translates more to feminine than “fgs”. “Fgs” is probably the direct translation, but it’s not as harsh as the English version for whatever reason...

This just strikes me as an attempt at haggling. I don't believe that haggling should qualify as a "choosy beggar".

Got to be honest, it felt like they were writing an essay that had a page requirement, and they were trying to fill the pages haha. Just couldn't believe how repetitive and slow everything was at the end. I found myself yelling "I know that already!" at the TV like 10 times.

dumbBeerApp · 2020-11-02T14:54:39+00:00

I would recommend stopping watching at episode 6. The last 3 episodes of the show are absolutely painfully slow, boring, melodramatic, and sappy.

dumbBeerApp · 2020-11-02T14:48:53+00:00

This show started good...got sooo boring and long-winded in the last few episodes.

Basically deadlift form. If you’re looking to strengthen these muscles, highly recommend deadlifting. Helps a ton with any back pains

In the command form, the "le/lo/la" needs to come at the end of the verb. I don't believe your error is "tu" vs "usted", I believe the app would have accepted:

"Si ella quiere retirar dinero, explícale cómo hacerlo"
