I just got a package from Canada. MG Head OTL just arrived. Cool little amp. First impessions, HD 600's plugged into the OTL jack, feedback switch towards trans=very,very, good sound. The feedback switch is kind of a mystery to me right now. I was told it controls feedback? This is my first Tube piece so bear with me. So far, cold, right out of the box I like it.

I called Divergent today and mine is on the way. I don't think the Head OTL has a feedback circuit.

The optimum performance with your headphones will be throught the OTL output
on the right. The switch is for feedback, up position will reduce feed back
and down will increase it.

Did yours come UPS? I need to let the guys in the mailroom know or else it will end up in company inventory (they're idiots).

Cool, thanks.

Just switched over from the OTL jack to Headphone jack. Less bass with HD 600's. Actually I think it is more musical. I'm listening to Janice Ian "Breaking Silence". How much was my Max again?

Try the "Headphone" jack with the switch on OTL mode. I find it sounds best...

I'm there now. Very nice with female vocale, Diane Krall.

Just not the new Diana Krall from what I understand.

 

[lextek]

Actually an early album. Right now I'm bouncing back and forth between the Head and the Max. Can you say "bang for the buck"?

Bob

 

[chych]

Or you could say, diminishing returns, lextek...

My 30 days at Headroom aren't up yet. I really want to hear the $1300 difference.

It not only Decrease Feed back but Zero Feed Back. I suggest use Zero Feed back when wotk in OTL Mode.

Yes ! No feed back in OTL Mode but Can select Zero feed back or Feed back in Transformers out mode.

You get 2 difference taste in one amps

, OTL mode , more detail , side open , deep bass.
Transformers Output - more sweet sound in Mid range ...
