Topping L30 HeadAMP

[solderdude]

I once had a tube amp with the filaments glowing and had built the most basic simple class-AB amp in it. people that heard it could hear the 'tube sound'. One of them said he didn't like it at all. When asking why he said he preferred SS over crappy tubes.
Of course these tests were as sighted as can be and 'pushed' them to make sure they believed that tube sound was better.
Only tested about 4 people this way. The amp was an ugly one so trashed it later. No pics.. way too long ago.

We are such gullible creatures! Once you experience enough of it, you become the pessimist audiophile... At least we should. Now, I rely on measurements and knowledge for reference and listen for what I like with eyes wide open. I'm not trying to hear how good my system sounds, I dare it to disappoint me!

Hello guys

I receiver the Topping 30 stack today and wanted to connected to my lsr 305 speakers.

Can i buy twin rca to xlr cables to connect them?

The topping l30 has black and red outputs but the lsr 305 have balanced 1/4 or xlr inputs, without difference in colour... Thats why i am a bit confused.

Thx

You need RCA to TS 6.35mm (2 in 2 out) cable.

Something like this:

And the fact the input on both speakers is plain black is not an issue?

Just out of curiosity, why not something like this:

Thanks

Yeah it should work too if the wiring is correct. I assume it's correct.

I will order the one you said. Less probable issues with the wiring i guess

Thx a lot
