1st world problems
« on: June 03, 2015, 10:49:18 PM »
My OTL tube amp is too hot and making me sweat but the air conditioner is too loud for critical listening with my open back headphones.

I'm having the same issue.  I shut off the air and opened the french doors to my patio, but now I hear someone loudly doing yardwork nearby.  It's intolerable.

That's why I have a two amps for my speaker rig. A tube amp for winter and a SS for summer.  :)p5  I still need a split unit AC unit for the room. Oh the pain, the pain.

My preamp is insufficient to route a signal to all of my amps. My DAC has 3 outputs, and the preamp has two, for a total of 4 amps. I've also run out of rack space, and some amps are living in a closet. I also don't have a routing solution for the output of the speaker amps, and I have to manually move my cables around.

This is why the 3rd world still uses slaves.

This is why my listening rig and work space is located in front of windows.

2nd world problem:

The ZDSE I used to own ran too hot, but I didn't have air conditioning in my room let alone an electric fan. During summertime I would find my HD800 covered in sweat after an hour of listening or two.

True story.

I won't buy a $7000 amp because it doesn't have a remote.
