Iâve read somewhere that the Monty Python sketch that Drefbal posted is actually the reason why spam is used in that way.

Iâm sorry but I have to tell yall about this because itâs quite relevatory in terms of being a simple, cheap, effective upgrade of sound quality.
Many of you know - a good, proper and clean power supply is the heart of any good sound system, and this includes IEMs. Plugging your dongle into the laptop increases power but decrases cleanliness of sound compared to plugging into smartphone - and vice versa.
With a power bank though, you get the best of both worlds - both power and cleanliness.
Sharge Flow Power Bank (currently 60% off)
What is awesome about this particular power bank is that it has a unique âlow-current modeâ that reduces the power output to a lower, consistent current suitable for small devices such as IEMs. It results in a more stable voltage and current supply, minimizing further electrical noise or ripple that might otherwise degrade audio quality. Also preserves battery life naturally.
Itâs the size of a credit card and I have mine sorta joined together with my dongle in a neat little package.
Superb buy and a complete no-brainer for anyone in this hobby really.

Micro volt or, even better, nano volt noise (ripple peak to peak) should be the target for audio. Once youâve heard the lack of noise, itâs hard to go back, but itâs difficult to identify while itâs thereâŚremove it and it becomes quite apparent that it is gone.
Unfortunately, USB battery output circuits simply arenât designed with low ripple in mind as charging a phone really doesnât care if the noise is in the hundreds of millivolt range regarding ripple.
USB battery packs certainly have a place and most definitely win for power per gram of weight but when sound quality is the primary goal look for a power supply specâd in the uV or nV range.
The low current aspect of the marketing is one way to go I guess but really doesnât have much substance. Itâs power that matters more for charging and the ability to negotiate the highest voltage and thus the most power transfer over small gauge wires (higher voltage increases efficiency of power delivery by reducing loss).
Current delivery is the result of what the device being charged asks for or demands combined the power supplies ability to deliver it. Citing a low current mode really doesnât say anything useful from a performance perspective without showing the measurements of noise and in particular showing a reduction in noise in low current mode. They kind of missed the boat here.
Hope this helps educate others on how power transfers from one device to another and what to look for depending on your goals.
Recently I purchased a very affordable LHY battery powered ultra low noise 12V (also available in 5V) supply that has proven to be an absolutely stellar value and compete with some âhigh-endâ dedicated power supplies at vastly higher price points. Its measures in the single digit micro volt range. Keep in mind that just touching the insulation of the charge cable will change the ripple so donât get too caught up in the difference between a few microvolts and trying to achieve nanovolt levels. The juice isnât worth the squeeze here but going from 10s-100s of millivolts to a few microvolts is rather significant.
It just so happens the footprint of the LHY is nearly perfect for the DX340 to sit on top and serve as a heat sink running super gain mode. The LHY produces no measurable heat delivering up to 2A @ 12V. I just whipped up a couple Kydex pieces that serve to âcradleâ the 340 to the LHY.
One source for the LHY 12V: Pardon Our Interruption... ~$140USD is the going rate.

Thatâs a huge ass DD lol.
It looks average to me. It aint one of those âTWSâ style DDs at least.
10mm⌠not the largest magnet but itâs hard to tell the strength from a picture. Funny enough the best tightest bass Iâve ever heard from 1DD was this thang: HT10-C - HUAYUNXIN AUDIO

Stepped on?
How did that happen?
I might have a âLâ side. I have a couple pre release sets Iâd have to find and it looks different

@yogurt was kind enough to lend me his Punch a few months ago. I didnât do a good enough job of packaging them when I shipped them back to him. The guys that work in my local Post Office are arseholes. I wouldnât put it past them to stomp on it, but still, the one time I didnât package something robustly⌠it was on me.

The set shown crushed was because of shipping?
Thatâs not your fault but I can see why you feel responsible.
If folks in the P.O. are dicks it doesnât matter how well you wrapped it.
They literally drop kick shit and get caught on Ring cams doing nuts stuffs.
Low wage workers got a lot of rage in em it appears

I will try to take more photos tonight! 
Fortunately, nothing serious! Just a shipping issue 
That would be amazing! No worries about the looks, itâs the sound that matters! 
Please do let me know if you have something laying around youâd be willing to let go of.
@Go-Kart was of course an absolute gentleman and I quickly had the pair replaced 
So fortunately, I wasnât long without my Punch. Now Iâm hoping I can find a replacement L side so the R isnât wasted. A close friend of mine really liked this set too, so the plan is to gift this to them if I can get hold of a lonely L

If you hold the phone and swipe on the badge
it spins around
Has your name and date of achievment and number of times achieved etched in the glorious Gold enamel.
Absolute confirmation that Iâm a spectacular unit.
I love my Apple watch watch
and my Apple watch loves me too.
On behalf of the Society of Badged and Certified awesomeness people, I welcome your wife aboard on this wonderful journey.
Please donât actually ever touch her watch.
Thatâs a no no
Maybe you get to spin a badge someday?
Thatâs her call.
Lets see how much she really loves you
