@patton I was in the same boat as you until I threw my Speakers and Sub on a separate power strip that I can toggle easily with my foot.  Problem solved!

You didn't have grounding issues with this or is the power strip connected to the main power strip?

Subgenres, like progressive rock or stoner rock, yes. I like bandcamp to do so, once you buy it offers unlimited streaming of the bands and download high resolution files. No need for labels, just the band and you.


Really?  High Res on bandcamp?  Best I've found so far is 16/44.1 stuff.  Got any examples of high res on BC?  TIA

I had them on the same outlet.  It's generally not a good idea to daisy chain power strips.

I was thinking of doing something but am unsure if it would mess something up, I heard the Jot sounds bright with the HD-800's, so I wanted to add a tube buffer but still have the integrated balanced DAC. I was thinking of using the DAC, using the Pre-outs into the buffer, and from the buffer back into the Jot. Would this work or would it cause problems? Thanks.

With that configuration neither would work since each one is a separate input. Select internal DAC, sends to pre out but you're listening to just DAC output to Jot amp. If you switch to line input, where tube buffer would return, you wont hear anything since the tube buffer isn't recieving any sound. Hope this makes sense.

True about not Daisy chaining power strips. I would think two separate outlets on the same circuit breaker would also be OK. Is this right or am I mistaken?

Just received a Jot yesterday and I can see what all the fuss is about. Really nice piece of gear! It's a keeper... for now :innocent:

Have to say the internal Dac is decent enough too. Wasn't expecting it to sound as good as it does.

Its a great DAC for $100.00.
 
Too many naysayers who have never heard the DAC in the Jot.
 
Welcome to the Jot club...

Thanks! I'll just use an external DAC then with the buffer.

A minor gripe for an otherwise A+ amp.

Was ready to order yesterday, but kept on reading and reading about it.

I had no idea their supply chain would take a dump like this, especially since they have kept up with production since its introduction and made it through the holidays with stock left.
