Very true I've only been on headfi for a year and wow I have learned a great deal, I'm actually considering going to school for audio. I'm just not sure what kind of jobs I'd be able to get

Have you tried balanced preamp yet?

Solo -db > Duet > Intruder
Solo -db > Duet > Rx Mk3-b
Solo -db > Intruder > Duet
Solo -db > Intruder > Rx Mk3-b
Solo -db > Rx Mk3-b > Duet
Solo -db > Rx Mk3-b > Intruder

International > Duet
International > Intruder
International > Rx Mk3-b

Theorem 720 > Duet
Theorem 720 > Intruder
Theorem 720 > Rx Mk3-b

Theorem 720 Copper> Duet
Theorem 720 Copper > Intruder
Theorem 720 Copper > Rx Mk3-b

[rule]
And I wonder if Alex were modifying the gain of Duet to match the output of KM01-BRASS so that won't clip / have distortion when the volume is set to 100%.

Alex had full modified his ALO international , line in line out coax out as well . In his 4 stag Ko Jo has No distortion at all

I haven't try balance pre amp , I will try later on , because tomorrow is holiday :D

Hi seeteeyou

I just tried full balance set up with pre amp , the result is not so good with balance pre amp

I don't know why ? With balance pre amp in low volume got Distorsion :D

Source : IPhone 4 s mod

Dac : Cypher Labs Class - dB 2.00 VRms

Pre Amp : Cypher Labs Duet as pre amp

Power Amp : ALO Rx 3 B as power amp

Headphone : abyss 1266

Result : Is not as good if I use Ko Jo as Pre amp or Mass Ko Bo as Pre amp

Please do not follow this experience , in low volume I set the gain in Medium and High Gain on

My two amp Duet and ALO Rx 3 B , the result are the same distortion in SQ

IMO

My best set up for abyss are 3 sets like below :

Set up A

Source : IPhone 4 s mod
Dac : Cypher Labs Class Solo original
Amp : ALO Rx 3 B

Set up B

Source : IPhone 4 s mod
Dac / amp : Cipher Labs Theorem as Dac
Amp : ALO Rx 3 B





Set up C

Source : IPhone 4 s mod
Dac / Amp : Cypher Labs Theorem as Dac
Amp : Cypher Labs Duet

IMO

Thanks for testing and let's stick with KM01-BRASS as preamp then.

Which one will result in best for driving Abyss?

PHA-2 > KM01-BRASS > Duet

Solo -db > KM01-BRASS > Duet

Solo original > KM01-BRASS > Duet

Theorem 720 > KM01-BRASS > Duet

Theorem 720 Copper > KM01-BRASS > Duet

These 4 stag i must try again :D

The best was two sets

Solo original > Mass Ko Bo 385 > ALO Rx 3 B

Theorem as dac > Mass Ko Bo 385 > Duet
