Nah, by "cheap temporary amplifier" I meant the JB Systems that I bought to hold me over during repairs. The Yamaha came later, and I never modified that -- have yet to hear the fan come on!

I'd always been a bit skeptical, but I think the tipping point for me was when my 22kg class AB/A monster of an amplifier finally died. Sent it in for repairs, bought a cheap B-stock pro amp just so I could still have sound, and ended up barely hearing any difference. Subjectively it did sound a...

Firefox, with Brave on the side for videos/streaming. Definitely keeping an eye on all the junk Mozilla is currently pulling, though... May have to pivot off at some point. (ideally to a Firefox fork like Waterfox, haven't had the best of luck with Chromium-based browsers under Linux recently...

Assuming you've tried this already, but no luck unplugging it and plugging it back in either? A few other generic troubleshoot-y things to try and report back on: Try a few different USB ports on the computer. There's usually a few different controllers handling different ports on a desktop...

Where are you from, and do you have a (rough) budget in mind? Don't have any recommendations myself, but that should help get the topic started.

It's a toggle for me, Stable Volume under the little gear icon at the bottom left. (in a browser) Turning it off seems to keep it off when I switch videos as well. I am logged in, for what it's worth.

I have a pair of the Spirit 2, the flat ones without a port. Excellent little surround speakers. Good to see their bigger siblings measured!

The Instant Mode toggle is pretty much just a safety measure. If it's enabled, any filters you activate go through immediately. If not, you'll have to save the file you're working in (File > Save) to apply changes. Good when you're working with scarier filters that can suddenly go to massive...

These people have an interesting sense of "fun"...

Please attach the pictures directly or upload them somewhere where they can be embedded, downloading a random archive from a brand new user is risky to say the least.

Linux, but sadly stuck on Windows for the programs I need. (and my modded games) Not that a NTLite-stripped install of W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is that much of a punishment, though. Heck of a lot better than the bloat/"telemetry"-infested desktop builds!

Unsure if that was in response to my post, but I later learned that I had bandwidth set way too high. The shots I get now are much less fuzzy, though I still see the same crazy swings. Enabling the actual output seems to be fine from what I can see though, so that's a relief -- just gotta...

Yup, it has a transformer. I hadn't actually measured my own unit yet, only recently got a scope -- was going off of reports/scope shots from other people. Here's some results from mine when turned on: ...and when turned off: Hope I got these right, still figuring out how to...

Bass management is a must, and an area where a lot of "2.1" devices fail to deliver -- configurable crossover point(s), ideally a configurable slope as well. I'd also say balanced outputs would be nice to have for the studio monitor crowd. How would the HDMI input work? Would you go from your...

Be careful with those Korad power supplies -- they're super useful, but some models (like my KA3005P) kick out a seriously nasty voltage spike when powered on. Not familiar with your specific equipment, but worth keeping in mind. For what it's worth, I usually connect my leads after I've dialed...

Bad caps changing things, possibly? Notorious issue with the original M-DAC, I ended up having to replace about 40 caps of different ratings and sizes in mine. Felt like it sounded different after as well, though that could've been placebo. Lovely device when it works, but not built the best...

Huh? Not sure what that would have to do with anything. Focusing on different things, sure, but actually hearing different things?

Thanks, ChatGPT! (oh, it's a spambot too, hidden links -- nice)

My Marantz SR6013 has a slight whining/whirring/whistling that repeats every few seconds. I don't generally notice it, but when I'm in a quiet room (like at night) it can be pretty annoying, especially with it being a pattern and not a constant sound. It's louder than my PC when it's in idle...

Wow! If I hadn't switched to active speakers this would've absolutely been my amp -- switchable gains (love that about pro amps, gain controls can be a lifesaver for noise issues), a trigger input and pass-through, balanced and unbalanced... and it measures really well! Hats off to the...
