Jotunheim high gain is better. Low gain is flatter and less compelling. Noise is not a discernible issue in my system. I did A/Bs when I first got the Jotunheim and have left it on high gain since.

When I spied the two new Magnis, and the ability to get both in a trial setup, I decided for no particular reason to buy both. I had and have no intention of sending one back. Why bother? It's always better to just have one or two or five extra headphone amps lying around just in case. I...

So, I saw the Magni 3 Thunderdome thing yesterday. I ordered both. Hopefully, I'm part of the first 250 so I can return the one I like less. But that's the trick: I'll keep both! That'll learn 'em. I'm looking forward to comparing the two new units to the original Magni 3, which I bought...

I'm not sure if solo piano music would be the best way to demo The Gadget, but if it would work, there are some free, mostly high res downloads available: New Zealand pianist Michael Houstoun has a variety of recordings he opted to release for free via Bandcamp...

I received my Magni 3 yesterday and did some early comparisons before letting it run overnight and doing some more listening this morning. I did some A/Bs with the Jotunheim, using the Yggy as the DAC for both. Headphones used were Beyer T1s (original), Beyer DT880s (600 Ohm), Focal Elear, and...

Okay, I’m something of a newbie when it comes to headphones and associated gear.  I am, however, an experienced audiophile.  As such, I have a few questions where I hope to benefit from more experienced headphone users.   First up, to give an idea of what I’m looking for and where I’m at, my...

This one is easy: Wilson CUBs.  I heard them years ago, and they were the worst sounding speaker I've ever heard.  They literally hurt my ears when I listened to them.  I could not turn them down quickly enough.  Even the salesman admitted that they were a little "hot."  I ended up at a...
