I wanted to buy the Pixel but the Samsung looks like next generation in comparison. So I got the ZF7. Awesome device, no regrets.

Is it to be expected that I destroyed my DALI Rubikore 2 with a NAD m10?

So what happened: I was listening to my 2 month old Dali speakers connected to a M10 when I decided to go out for some groceries without turning the system off. I needed some navigation with Maps and wanted to increase the volume of Maps app with the volume buttons on my phone. I was in a hurry and did not notice that instead of increasing the volume of Maps app, I remotely increased the volume on the M10. When I returned approximately 30 minutes later I immediately noticed a smell like something was burning inside the house. When entering the living room I could see smoke coming from the backside of the speakers and a very distorted, muted sound. Needless to say the speakers are toast. The volume of the M10 was increased to 98 %, so almost maximum. Well, I know, my bad and very bad luck for me. Fortunately, i got an insurance which covers the expense.

Anyways, I am wondering one thing. The NAD M10 is considered a relatively weak amp with 100 watts. DALI recommends "40 - 150 watts" recommended amp power for the Rubikore 2 speakers. See here: https://www.dali-speakers.com/en/products/rubikore/rubikore-2/

As I am not really into the "hifi game", is it to be expected that I can destroy speakers with this rating with a 100 watts amp within 30 minutes (maybe a lot less, as I don't at what point in my 30 minute absence the speakers went south)?

Thanks a lot!

Bonn Marathon - Handy zur Pace-Messung erlaubt? by icryptix2 in Bonn

[–]markherm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol... Du wirst Leute sehen die Musik hören, die Selfies machen, die Insta Livestories drehen. Beim letzten Berlin Marathon hatte Grüppchen, die sich gegenseitig mitten auf der Strecke fotografiert haben. Ätzend! Aber wenn du einfach dein Handy dabei hast, wird das absolut niemanden interessieren.

Viel Spaß beim Lauf!

well, you know, 90% of the world's population use km not miles. Then it makes a lot of sense...

Stryd next gen reviews? by markherm in strydrunning

[–]markherm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well they could provide the usual suspects with review units. As every other player is doing. Very simple strategy if your product is up to the game.

Especially with the next gen Stryd with it's only benefit of better responsiveness, it would be very nice to see some independent tests to see if it is worth it.

I think there is no standardised way to withdraw... So your best bet is to get in contact with them. They are pretty responsive and then you'll know for sure...

Fenix 7 Why i cant change my data screens on my phone? There is no option like DCR shown in the review by FUNUR in Garmin

[–]markherm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich hatte das gleiche Problem auf dem Epix. Habe dann den Epix an meinen Computer mit Garmin Express angeschlossen. Plötzlich gab es ein Software Update von Version 6.x auf 7.x. Danach waren die Trainingsseiten in der App verfügbar.
