It means your body is getting conditioned. When you can grab a fully charged 1 farad, 600v cap with your bare fingers, you'll be ready to snatch the pebbles from my hand. LOL!!
L M F A O .. I had a feeling... I went ahead and ordered the resistors there, should be here Tuesday. I'll PM you soon to pick your brain on how this is suppose to go down, because I'm still clueless..(obviously!) If this fails.. well, I might be in the Incubus family tree soon :wink:

LOL! If that fails, send the amp to me. I can guarantee you it won't work any less good after I look at it. :) :)

Guys, I always use my DAC connected to my old phone (Samsung S4) where I have 64gb of flac music. Today I finally decided to change my phone. I bought the Samsung A10S with a 256GB card. When I called my DAC (Modi Multibit) he believed that the sound improved considerably. I only bought the phone because of the space, and it turned out that the sound quality improved. Funny that I use a music player that has a technology called "perfect bit" that just transfers the music file to the DAC. But now I realized that the phone made a lot of difference. PS: The sound is better than if I use a computer connected to the DAC.

I'll have to try that tonight.. the PC is probably the worst unit for music. That and AC power. Purist buy battery blocks to power up their equipment. That's one advantage of using your phone. 😉

My phone uses Android. I use a "USB Audio Player PRO" program that has the "perfect bit" function, that is, it transfers the FLAC file, in my case, directly to the DAC without any interference from the phone.

I always unplug the laptop when listening. It's a new laptop so the battery lasts a good couple hours playing music. And then these for the power. Help quite a bit as hande-me-downs from the big rig. :)

And..because I'm a total noob with Conditioners... What ..does that do? Does that convert AC to DC? or runs off DC (DC is battery power right?)

No, just pair of conditioners. Helps clean some noise out of the power feed. Or, from Shunyatas viewpoint, they help keep noise being generated by your components (especially digital noise from DACs, switch mode power supplies, etc) from adding noise to the AC as it returns through the neutral. There's been football-field sized cans of worms opened up over this topic through the decades, so I'll just say that I think they make things sound better and leave it at that. :)

Copy. I'm lucky that I have a quiet outlet. And my amp shares the one outlet to herself. For now 😉, so looking into this. And a year ago I bought one of them USB conditioners, think it was a Schiit product, worked really well, don't know why I sent it back. And now and days If you have a decent DAC, it has, or should have, a very good USB conditioner/reclocker built in. I can see where a power conditioner can be a handy tool to have.

I can't believe you still have the Reliatron! That is a very underrated tube - definitely a hidden gem.
