    As a sound enthusiast living in an apartment complex, how does one cope?

    Reading through the replies until this one I was going to suggest a larger speaker.  One with a biggger bass cone rather than multiple small ones.  Or a small speaker and sub.  As per above many little cone  speakers need a kick up their backside (played loud) to get that bigger than they are...

    4.4mm headphone jack - anyone ever encountered one?

    This type of cable is the cable to use from a genuinely balanced audio source in to the Zen amplifier.

    4.4mm headphone jack - anyone ever encountered one?

    IMO it depends on the source and the volume level required or achievable in SE mode. Balanced drive gives more voltage swing so if the amp cant get enough in to the headphone to play loud enough in balanced configuration balanced will most certainly help. I firmly believe its popularity is due...

    4.4mm headphone jack - anyone ever encountered one?

    If anyone ever imports this adaptor I would be really keen to measure its pin outs as the claim rather strange things.  Analogue by birth, digital by design. Mostly  a StereoType though known to enjoy some Mono too.

    4.4mm headphone jack - anyone ever encountered one?

    You can make an always safe 4.4 Pentacon to 3.5 mm adaptor.  You would take the 5th connection from Pentacon, ground,  and then hot right and hot left to the 3.5 mm 3 pole.  Ignoring the cold phase for left and right.  Safe, but not  balanced.  Just single ended from a 4.4 mm Pentacon output. ...

    4.4mm headphone jack - anyone ever encountered one?

    I have male 4.4mm Pentacon connectors in stock.  Thank you Ron.  I also have 4 pole and 3 pole 3.5mm sockets.  However as mentioned.  There is no point doing pentacon to a 3 pole connector.  It will not be balanced.  Not likely to be any better and possibly it could hurt the amplifier. To...

    If things did get a bit louder then perhaps we are misunderstanding the problem.  Are you perhaps struggling to hear voices / dialogue in movies? It may be worth checking the set up menu of you DVD player for a 2 channel downmix setting.  Make sure it?s switched on.  Analogue by birth...

    Hi Rudy No.  You got the answer earlier on.  The Sansui subwoofer and speaker set can?t go louder than it can. Maybe some speakers added to your little amplifier would be able to play louder.  Maybe.  It?s not a large amplifier.  Some stereo speakers connected to the little amplifier  and...

    Headphone setup - Node? Valve? Cheap?

    Maybe not so much.  Also The Behringer amp is a solution to a problem, not a performance based option.  Analogue by birth, digital by design. Mostly  a StereoType though known to enjoy some Mono too.

    SWITCH!

    More or less except I have been using fast Ethernet not gigabit.  I stiffen things up inside the switch and add a low jitter oscillator with its own regulation and smoothing.  Imo unconnected Cat shields are good.  This seems to be echoed elsewhere too.  Analogue by birth, digital by...
