Hi everyone. I'm new here and hoping to learn more about the X10 and generally expand my poor knowledge of all things HiFi and technological. I'm hoping to buy an X10 at some point in the near future, catch up with modernity and go digital. It might be hard work to get to grips with at first but it sounds like it's just what I need. At least there seems to be a lot of good advice and support around, especially on here.
Firstly, does anyone know how the X10 is at driving Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s using it's inbuilt amp?
IMHO the variance in 6 or 8 ohm is nothing to worry about, you'll soon hear the clipping if you over stress the amp.
Thanks Hamish.
I don't own the Wharfedales but read somewhere they were the best speakers under £100. Would I be better off sticking with the Cap 10s or can you recommend any 6ohm speakers in that sort of price range that would match the X10 nicely?
Thanks again man. It's going to be in a medium sized living room and I don't usually raise the volume very high unless I'm wearing headphones.
Then the CAP 10's and the built in amp should be just fine
Hi, I have been ripping my CDs, but now I encountered a problem: when editing track names etc my Audio Cocktail became unresponsive to any editing. It plays the ripped music ok, but how do I get it working again? Any suggestions most welcome...
Hi all
I am looking at getting a media player to connect to an AV system remote from the X10, primarily for playing FLAC files from the X10. Has anyone any recommendations and/or experience of a low cost device to do this. It wouldn't need wireless connectivity as I would be using Powerlines.
Thanks v m
What format did you rip to?
If you chose to rip to anything other than WAV, the x10 first rips the CD's as WAV files then converts them to your chosen format and if you don't wait until it's converted the files (and it does take a while) before doing anything like editing file details the x10 can sometimes get a bit stroppy.
UPDATE: Just read that this Topping has a built in DAC...Now,with me already having a seperate DAC would that just not confuse things,or would I be better using just the Toppings built in DAC? (If I buy one,that is.)
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
It's had good reviews from what I've seen.So do you think it would go nicely with the x10? Suppose if I got one I could try it with and without my own DAC.Saying that,30+ years of listening to heavy metal has made my hearing a bit worse for wear so odds are I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.Thanks for that info...
Interesting little product.. at that price it's worth buying one and having a play!
