ok then

kek thats so rarted

polarity switch on your dac on preamp

what

i've never seen that

i have

its not particularly useful lol

i guessi tsu seful if your dumb and cant plug it in right?

Some digital recordings are made in antiphase, and it never says on the box. Most people (me!) can't detect this, but if you can, push the button.

huh

This subject drive's me nuts.

Quite a few pre amplifiers have the outputs inverted and to my knowledge the way to counteract this is to reverse the polarity on the speakers wtf:doh: I still don't know why this is.

wtf

jc this budget setup

```This is a pure tube phono stage from China that cost about $65. It comes in pieces. Two acrylic plates, the PCB, the power transformer, three driver tubes, a rectifier tube, and some other hardware. Assembly wasn't too bad, and I had to buy a longer power cable to route it behind my desk. I also replaced the cheap Chinese tubes with Voskhod 6N2P-EV tubes (NOS matched trio for $20) for the drivers and a Reflector 6C4P-EV (NOS for $10) for the rectifier.

```

that little dot amp sucks btw

shill me on vinyl

is there any reason why this depreciated format is still used in $CURRENT_YEAR besides retro nostalgia?

no

@Deleted User hoardi- I mean collecting

you should use cds instead.. see the magnetic data stored in hard drives can be corrupted with background radiation but cd's have that shiny surface that block radiation waves

vinyl is better because ⓡⓞⓤⓝⓓ ⓢⓞⓤⓝⓓ

360 degrees of sound versus 2 degrees

Why would he use those amps when he's got a Schiit Stack.

oh my god

I have this, is there chi-fi I can get that'd be better?

Considering it's Sony, it'll sound good

But the cables will break fast. And erm

Not sure

I don't have EX450's.

damn, $40 IEMs

@Millwood budget?

I dunno, just throw something that's better at me

tin audio t2

I'm just researching for now

TIN Audio T2 (I should have bought those instead of these meme ZS6's I have), TRN V20 (They sound a bit better than most Sony buds)
