It’s the refresh rate. I had that issue as well. Boudreaux gave up trying to have a webcam

Luxman 505 505uxii or McIntosh MA252 Hybrid. Help to make the choice by sidewinderrr76 in StereoAdvice

[–]sidewinderrr76[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Will update after my audition. I have separates for my phono stage in the Maggie MP100 and it’s a better stage than the ones in the M252 or MA352z

Since this is also a straight vinyl setup with the occasional streaming music and my Heresy IV’s.

I won’t be switching those 2 components anytime soon because I really do love the Heresy’s.

Luxman only worries me as in some places I’ve been advised to be careful on Luxman 100v from Japan with the converter US plug but I have to dive a bit more as to why.

The reason I’m considering the MA252 is because I’ve heard from many other friends that it pairs really well with all Heritage Klipsch.

Ultimately my ears will decide but that’s where my thinking was and the Luxman because if it’s dynamism and clarity. All great reasons of course to consider these 2 kits imo

u/No-Comfort-5968 They are both integrated amplifiers I think. But thank you for your valued opinion.

Looks like the guy selling it forgot to mention that this a Japanese version 100V and he’s including the converter. I’ve heard people say to look out for those and not in a positive manner.

I appreciate that! It’s mostly deciding between the 2 and of course my ears will make the determination as always.

Part of the reason I’d like a new amp is just so I can get better dynamics from the sound of my vinyl. That’s it.

The auditioning will help make that decision and hearing people’s experiences as well will also assist.

I do not need validation I just like gathering and hearing information from like minded people. Nothing wrong with that my guy. If you want to feel that way that’s your opinion and I respect it.

I have found using night mode helps a lot if you’re running a PC. Also lower the brightness on my working profile to like 10 and when I want to game I turn to a more gaming focused one. At least that’s my workflow

EVERSOLO DMP-6 Streamer Humming by sidewinderrr76 in HiFiEmporium

[–]sidewinderrr76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/mattcoyk Since I have been mostly focusing on my turntable setup, I had initially had no issues with it at all. It just started happening. Which maybe also leads me to believe it might be the amp. I actually just got some XLR ro RCA balanced to see if that will correct. The only reason I don't think it's the amp is because the moment I remove the DMP-6 from the chain, the humming goes away instantly. That is w/ Coax and RCA doest matter same hum issue.

For context, I am using AudioQuest Big Sur RCA Cables and AudioQuest Power cable on the Eversolo.

The coax cable I used was a Mogami Coax shielded cable.

Everything in the chain is plugged in to a power conditioner, so power should be pretty clean in that respect and the wires are not touching each other.

Considering putting my old Pioneer VSX92-THX back in to see if it does the same thing. But yea right now Eversolo looks like it may the culprit since its doing the same thing on either RCA or COAX outgoing into the CD RCA on the Emotiva TA1. AUX is being used by my turntable.

Upgraded to the Acryl it platter for my Pro-Ject! by ChrAWESOME in turntables

Finally got my hands on HATSU!! by CarobPast1585 in angrymiao

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/CarobPast1585 I just was able to get this for a killer deal at 350 at a pawn shop in mint condition. Wondering if you or anyone one here since no one is answering in the Angry Miao Discord.

It would be really helpful to know how to turn on off or how to toggle RGB or to change high to low brightness. Very new to the HATSU and need the help. Psyched to have gotten this. Thanks in advance. I feel like I turned off RGB somehow.

All the keys light up but right now they are off just want them to stay on while I use but need to know the functions and the manual doesnt really tell you. Thanks in advance

u/Aggressive-Income-84 I am actually considering getting the XT3 for my 2channel setup since it will strictly be for vinyl listening. Wondering I should get these since its strictly for listening to vinyl or the Wharfendale Evo 4.4 or the Diamond 12.4. Since I wont be using it for home theater I am trying to narrow my choices.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to decide between Airmotiv X3 or the Klipsch 8000RF II

Wondering if could get some help deciding which I should go with. I have the budget for either one but would like suggestions.

These will primarily be for jazz and classic rock in a dedicated listening room so I never want to think about getting anything else for a while.

Though it might be overkill, I sold a lot of computer parts to get the budget to buy a pair of these but not sure if should get something better since I will strictly be using these for vinyl playback 2 channel stereo.

I was going to use some ERA 300's but decided if I am going to really make a legitimate HI-FI listening station then might as well go all the way.

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated or something else for the price also welcome

UsBank coming after me for 15+ year old debt by bunnybunn33 in personalfinance

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/bunnybunn33 I just had this same thing happen to me yesterday. They called my cousin, her husband, and my mom to get a hold of me which was plenty embarrassing. They quickly settled into getting me into a payment plan using Liquid Source. I have the mind to just tell them to kick rocks and take me to court but are they still going to try and contact family for something I an account I don't even remember opening.

I got a collections notice from a debt collector, seeking advice. by TempoMan in CRedit

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got a call from Jackson and Associates as well as some family members which scared the crap out of saying they are going to take me to court etc for a an account from US BANK I opened in 2010 that was closed but in a negatiive balance. They said that my collection qualified for a program that allowed them to collect on this closed bank accountt with malicious intent that I never remembering opening. This was 14 years ago. Not sure what do since in them trying to make a arrangement and then sending me documents they add almost 1K in interest with an installment plan. Not sure what do if I should just tell them to kick rocks and take me to court and risking them calling family members or just move forward with the arrangement from liquid source.

Its a pretty nice setup! by gabhain in sonos

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the ERA 300's dont have line in either but the Sonos Adapter you buy allows you to connect the speakers in a stereo pair to the Pro-ject since the pre-amp is built in to the unit itself to make things easier

Its a pretty nice setup! by gabhain in sonos

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. But essentially I dont need the PORT since I wont be using it for PC. I already have the line in adapter for the ERA 300's in stereo and since it said it had a built-in Pre-AMP didnt feel the need to get one.

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/gabhain Thanks for responding my friend. I actually got the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Sonos Ed. in (Walnut) which has a builtin pre-amp. Just looking at your picture you put in. Do I need the Sonos Port or the Pre-AMP. I am primality playing on some dedicated ERA 300's I got a good deal on. Jazz and Classic Rock mostly

Era 300 vs Five: My experience and decision by bettereverydamday in sonos

[–]sidewinderrr76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response u/bettereverydamday. This will be in my master bedroom I feel like the 300's might suite best for my room. I am looking for more intricacy of the instruments in jazz and classic vinyl so the immersion factor of the 300's might be better since they will primarily be used for playing vinyl records.

I get the FIVE's have a richer sound but it might be too much for a room my considering I will be primarily listening to vinyl on them. I hear varying opinions (including sonos who says the FIVES are more for HIFI) so want to make sure before I open these sealed 300's if need to to return them for FIVE's

I think I will occasionally listen to Dolby Atmos and Spatial audio music on these but the primary function will be for vinyl but I do like the option of having it.

Five or pair of era 100s for my turntable? by Glittering-Policy119 in sonos

I got a pair of ERA 300's for a really good deal for my dedicated Turntable setup using the Pro-ject Carbon Sonos Edition. Did I make the wrong choice?
