Got the first ever pay cut in my life, and a hefty one at that. Thanks Corona! Mar 24, 2020

  SW51+ withdrawl is real. To think I won't get to listen to this amp for maybe a month is scary. This hasn't happened to me before. :(((

    LOL, got me there. I plan to, but might have mentioned the ZDTJ is a friend's on extended loan so I'd feel like an unconsented assfuck if I bought more stuff before I sorted it out.
    
    (Never mind my ethical obligation to remedy the effects of what seems to be an electrical short is questionable at best— it's what I'd want others to do if I loaned stuff I guess.)

  Came back home to SW51+ with a constant crackling sound on one channel :( New to tube amps, appreciate any advice!

    @Zampotech Swapped the tubes, the crackle remains on the same channel. Should I just bring the amp to the local repair shop?
    
    Feb 15, 2020
  4. Zampotech
    Can you give large photos of the tube socket? I want to understand what is the source of the crackling.
    
    Another point. Are there any sounds in the headphones when the amplifier is turned off?
    
    Feb 15, 2020
  5. obsiCO
    @Zampotech Oops, I've just sent the amp to the repair shop. :'( He did a quick check and there seemed to not be any trouble with the socket. He still needs a few days to thoroughly check everything since his repair queue is long.
    
    There's no crackling sound or anything of the sort when the amp is off.

  Couldn't for the life of me detect any difference sound-wise between ZX300 and ZX507. Maybe I'm just deaf.

    Tested with FDX1 and Andromeda. Tried fudging around with ZX507's app process, couldn't force stop or disable Sound Enhancement process a la ZX2. Worth a try.
    
    Jan 21, 2020
  3. Ksaurav402
    So ZX507 = ZX300 + streaming capabilities - battery life?
    
    Jan 21, 2020
  4. obsiCO
    @Ksaurav402 Adding to the equation, minus the USB DAC and bluetooth receiver functions (not sure about the latter).
    That's just me though. Other people might find an appreciable difference with it compared to ZX300, just not for me and my ringing ears. :(

    It's been 4 hours... haven't seen him listen to music this long before and he has tried Andromeda, Orion, and Verum 1 (albeit with channel imbalance issue that comes and goes).
    
    "You must think I hate money," said he "Fuck you for bringing this into my life." I think he likes it.

    I'll give it a more proper audition tomorrow. Today I was busy connecting their ipads to the web for tidal and debugging a bad channel, turned out to be a faulty dac after many swaps.

    I'd like to bring to your attention the variety of fan edited Hobbit movies, specifically this one:
    
    https://goldfishblues.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/the-hobbit-the-bilbo-edition-2-0-extended-edition/
    
    All of which do an excellent job at cutting the crap and making viewing more enjoyable as a whole, and staying more true to Tolkien's original works.

  Got the cable for Verum. It's good, just not sure if it's a good match for Jot + Modi MB. Need to listen to it for a few days to be sure.

  Wrapping up my thoughts on ZX2/ZX300/Andromeda. In short, if Andromeda is the only IEM you use, just get a ZX2 and never look back.
