    $99 Topping D30 ( DSD ) DAC + A30

    I have the UMC202 and am happy with it connected to my laptop for general use. I will probably purchase the Topping D30 for my stereo system. I am only too aware of the vagaries of our hearing which was evolved to give warnings of short term danger rather than the specifics of concentration...

    Luxman R1050 popping sound and protection mode.

    Late to this thread. I had a problem with intermittent total loss of output with my R-1050 . It was caused by D102b(VD1221), twin diode, internally opening between the two diode sections. The original part is probably unobtainable but two individual diodes in series does the job. I have since...

    Connecting XLR to Standard Speaker Wire Jacks

    I would go with the British Broadcasting Corporation's view. They designed the speakers.

    Connecting XLR to Standard Speaker Wire Jacks

    My Luxman R 1050(purchased new) is the amp I am most fond of. At present when turned on, after the time-delay relay operates I get a sound similar to waves breaking on a beach which fades away after 30 secs or so. Transistor or old PS caps, anyone? If you have intermittent cut-out I can help...

    Stereo

    Sweet and mellow when appropriate; loud, clean and punchy when it should be. Not for doof-doofers. I admit that I am biased toward sensitive and dynamic drivers in big cabs with plenty of driving power behind them. :rolleyes:
