Spikes? They're normally reserved for floor-standing speakers or stands on carpets. Used for placing on carpeted floors.

Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?
Nice pic, shit pastebin.

a schiit amp like the schiit magni or the schiit fulla would help you get the most of those headphones

He has a schiit stack new friend. Now post what you got.

>t. SennSchiit owner

I use a hd600 with a schiit fulla

Few things:
1. I already have a Magni 2u
2. Fulla is a poor match for HD600, as it doesn't provide enough power. I know as I have a Fulla2.
3. There's a lot of amp makers that do make amps capable of driving HD600 well, besides Schiit. The Magni3 is the only HD600 capable amp they make which has competitive pricing.

How would you go about mounting them? Glue?

nice job the schiit magni is an excellent purchase to pair with the hd600

Nice HD600 & cat.

screw them

you drill a hole and put the screw through... dude... how are you asking that what are you even doing

New Stax DAC/energizer looks so cool!

Why make things more expensive and complicated just to satisfy >muh 600 ohms? Plus A/B testing shows no difference between a capable MOBO output and a standalone DAC so there’s more saved. Desktop —> cans is all you need desu.

Can't find any information about it anywhere except where that pic is from. Feel like it's too small to compete with their top amps though, hope it's good enough that I could use that instead of a different DAC + higher end Stax amp though.

Yea looks cool. Knowin' stax that will cost a bomb. And I bet they don't even use Japanese Caps

Low impedance is normally the tricker load. Most devices do not handle the larger current requirement so easily.

They just announced it at Munich High End.

Jap caps? You mean Audio Note?

Capacitors.

own pic-related and xpt100. can i use the angled xpt100 pads on it?

Attached: file.png (308x251, 42K)

who cares

this is why everyone hates you

flat

buying headphones without detachable cables is trash right?

Status Audio claims that you can't swap out pads (which is why I avoided those headphones). Try to take them off.

Ask yourself, why would you want detachable cables.

absolutely yes, there's no reason to get a headphone that doesn't have a detachable cable

>Ask yourself why am i a faggot

Betron ysm1000s

Can I run Class A amp at low-medium volume 16h a day? will it blow on me from temps?

are these the pads i want for max comfiness?

Attached: file.png (1465x619, 201K)

So if I pull on them by mistake I won't fuck up the solder and have to re solder them. Also easy to put away.

Yea. If you don't want to go over that price. These are ZMF pads

disgusting

Cause I suck dick?

how long memory foam lives compared to normal foam? normal dies in 2 years for me.

Electric bill gonna feel it

Do you want to ask a question or puff yourself up?

That won't change its idle dissipation much. It'll still be a space heater.
It'll be fine.

increasing the distance to your ear by this much will absolutely fuck all of the carefully tuned dynamics of any good headphone, this is maybe the worst thing you can do

uh huh. Sure.

doubt it, I pay 0.048c kWh

>It'll still be a space heater.
how much C do you think? under 60? above 60 would be a problem I think, since it's dac/amp combo. i'm asking about NFB 11.28 by the way.

yes i have a class a stereo amp and never even put it into idle mode. my electric bill is about $200 extra a year tho

Attached: classA.jpg (4032x3024, 2.45M)

do i want a balanced or unbalanced amp???

balanced if gay unbalanced if straight

show me

Do you have balanced or unbalanced source?

did you ever hear balanced? if not then unbalanced

Speaker spikes.

Did I fuck up?

Waste of money for extra circuitry you can’t utilize, unless you make/buy an adaptor like pic related then you could take advantage of noise rejection sending unbalanced signal to balanced amp.

I've been dying to get my hands on stax since I demoed them over the last few years, now I'm ready to do it but just waiting for the 009S to release and now maybe also the D50 depending on what it's like

Well, it wasn't serious
