Just finished this morning, paris time. No sweat, no pain, just follow the manual and enjoy soldering !!!
I plugged in : sonos+micromega DAC upstream, DIY Hypex UCD400 class D amp, and Martin Logan Sequels downstream.
I put a nice mix on : dar williams, ella&louis, Hadouk trio, deep purple, Led Zep, david bowie, Bruno Cocset's birth of the cello, marta agerich, alfred deller and Giora Feidman... just the thing to get a feel for the beast.
verdict : I cant muster the energy to get up from my listening chair. Full bodied and fruity, beautiful robe, pleasant aftertaste... some kind of sundrenched syrah from downunder. whaaaaao.
two small questions before I recheck all my wiring.
1. I have to dial the balance button almost all the way left to get equal signal. If the balance is halfway, I got maybe 80% volume on right channel. any thoughts ?
2. way to much gain for me : I use the volume button maybe 4 or 5 degrees from min, for good, wife complaining level, anything up from 20% gets at nightclub levels. Any way of cleanly decreasing gain without creating other unbalances ?
thanks for your take on these issues.
