Phew! Gone a week, and I had seriously like 20 pages of catching up!
Btw, my tube/class A amp had arrived around the time of my last post, and I'd received a replacement tube and PS for it. Mshenay, just a little warning: tube amps are a bit finicky compared to SS like a FiiO. Since the included tube shattered in transit, I had to re-bias the amp by ear (not the ideal method) for the new tube, and in general tube amps have a fatiguing + annoying buzz for a while when they first power on, so give them 10-25 minutes to warm up before you judge... Unless you want to hear crap, the be totally impressed once everything's flowing!
Why did you get a bravo V3 with the iffy 3band eq instead of the Indeed G2 with upgraded components and power supply?
I just saw your sig. You're welcome.
Glad the Q701 is working out so well for you. I really loved them. So much, that I'm contemplating getting the K702 65th Anniversary. For real.
Mad, for the sake of the guide, my offer still stands in case you want to compare the Q701 side-by-side with the 65th anniversary or something. I haven't sold my AD700 yet, so I have a temporary backup. Btw, it's awesome that you're getting review samples now!!! I'm like... ready to work as a janitor by now.
So I got tired of dealing with my modmic/Q701 cables. Not the prettiest, but effective at least.
I think it's pretty! I want to figure out how to do that; with my surround processor sitting next to me, I have a sloppy pool of cables around my feet. Especially when I use my preferred wired controller, have my AD700 on hand for A/B testing, and the wire going to my Tube/class A amp.
Have you noticed any ill-effects from having the cable all twisted? I would imagine it would create an almost antennae effect, or I'd at least be worried about crimping the cable. If there have been no problems, I probably will study your picture and see if I can figure out how you tied it! Personally, I'm more skilled at untying knots than making them
