Quoth the HFM rep, "Well, it's been shipped around a lot." Uh-huh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kattefjaes Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Oh come on, you have to go big or go home, what's this "Jr" nonsense? You want the "corrupt regional government official"-priced system, complete with the Bladerunner brothel-looking amp! Moar shinies=moar bettar. So what if neither the amp nor the drivers will last very long, you'll be too busy shopping for private jets to notice.

Whitigir Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Why KgSS on taobao ? Jr has an dedicated amp by HFM itself. The JR use bias Pro, so anything with that, reliability issues aside Edited March 16, 2018 by Whitigir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I thought resistors should be soldered flushed to the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For HV, it’s best practice to space the resistor body off contacting the PCB to prevent any possible stray shorts or arcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 In reality this is never needed if the resistors are the right type for the job. PRP crappy engineering non-withstanding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
