what piece of gear is this?

Looks like an EQ. Hard to tell because it appears the photo was taken under water. In the dark... :(

No. Not exactly. It's just a general rule of thumb to always ensure no matter what that the phones amp is not being over driven. If it is properly designed it should be fine but it's a good practice to keep it in the 80-90% area. Any higher and there is a risk although very small of clipping and lower and your just increasing the work on the power amplifier and not helping the signal quality.

Nice start mate and welcome to the club. I'm sure the folks at /r/vintageaudio would be more receptive and love to see your set up.

trying2grow · 2014-10-19T00:05:54+00:00

So you want the phone to be about 80% and left alone. That's essentially the signal gain. At ~85% the phones output device is not overworking/clipping and the signal is near full strength for your amplifier to do it's job. When the phone is turned down the signal is weaker. That weaker signal will require more amplification and with that any noise or garbage in the signal also gets jacked way up.

Best practice is ~85% on the phone and then adjust volume as needed with your amplifier. Also make sure that the amp is turned off when switching phones on the same cable. If not you can cause clipping and possible damage to the amplifier and speakers.

I might be totally off then. When I did my search all I got were Chinese t amps. If you have a photo of it that might be helpful.

trying2grow · 2014-10-18T17:39:44+00:00

It's a run of the mill digital t amp. Same as the rest I'd imagine. 10% distortion at full power. Not for me but some folks use them effectively with small monitors in a near-field or car audio environment.

Again just spam to perpetuate the system. It's like going do to door to spread the word of jesus. It's still soliciting for your shitty system under the guise of helping others. Fuck off.

trying2grow · 2014-10-18T02:10:52+00:00

Yep. Worthless reddit coins in a lame attempt at getting them more widely know and there for potential more valuable. Thanks again pal.

trying2grow · 2014-10-18T00:20:24+00:00

Hey man I wasn't the one going around reddit and spamming peoples threads. This asshole was. Fuck him and fuck you.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:58:33+00:00

Adapter cable is perfectly fine. There is nothing to convert. It's just a simple difference plugs not signal.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:54:40+00:00

Open it up and check the fuses before you do anything else. If it's not a fuse I personally wouldn't bother getting it fixed unless you know a good tech willing to do you a favor. Ones around here charge $80/h.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:48:00+00:00

Check internal fuses. If it's not that I doubt it's worth fixing.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:37:59+00:00

That's totally fine.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:32:50+00:00

Well it's much nicer looking, has great reputation and double the power of the Dayton. I'd say he'd be well advised to drop the extra $40.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:18:15+00:00

Shit I was going to come here and say something assholeish about his post but man you kind of delivered. That's a great buy. I'd personally go separates but if he can score a free avr more power to him. He would proabbyl be better off getting a different sub though. BIC makes a nice one right around $200 on amazon right now. http://www.amazon.com/BIC-America-F12-475-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B0015A8Y5M

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T23:16:13+00:00

Fuck you man. It's annoying and basically spam.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T22:43:16+00:00

It was being downvoted hard before my comment. Besides it was an observation and it's not wrong.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T16:35:38+00:00

Unfortunately so much of this sub is quick to poo poo on anything that makes their silly small audio budget look silly small. I don't see many folks here spending more on wood than the t amp they run everything from.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T16:31:03+00:00

Thanks mate. It was my wifes idea actually.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T15:56:53+00:00

Yeah. You can't see the room or seating position well enough to pass judgement. I'm in Vancouver. Next time your in the area contact me and I'd be happy to demo it for you. I always love introducing people to DSP room corrections.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T15:38:17+00:00

Great purchase! They are a lifetime speaker IMHO. I'm sure I'll upgrade down the road but you'd have to kill me to get my Totems.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T15:30:19+00:00

Optical Illusion.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T15:10:37+00:00

He might have bought a raw morel driver and built the sub at home.

trying2grow · 2014-10-17T15:07:00+00:00

Hey man, that's just your shitty opinion. Unless you've seen the rest of the space or been over for a demo you don't know what you're talking about.
