March 15, 20188 yr That cable just makes me cringe... was there nothing else available except cheap techflex?

March 15, 20188 yr Ooh come on spritzer, it's like 10x cheaper than it's bigger brother not much room left for an expensive cable..

Quoth the HFM rep, "Well, it's been shipped around a lot." Uh-huh.

March 16, 20188 yr 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. Edited March 16, 20188 yr by Kattefjaes

March 16, 20188 yr 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, 20188 yr by Whitigir

March 16, 20188 yr Wasn’t there a water cooled T2 on Taobao awhile back? What could go wrong with that? Edited March 16, 20188 yr by Laowei Phat phingers and phucking iPhone

The JR use bias Pro, so anything with that, reliability issues aside I wonder what's HFM's track record on amps ? From their website on the Shang system... I'm no expert but I thought resistors should be soldered flushed to the board?

For HV, it’s best practice to space the resistor body off contacting the PCB to prevent any possible stray shorts or arcing.
March 16, 20188 yr In reality this is never needed if the resistors are the right type for the job. PRP crappy engineering non-withstanding...
