Hi Naim.F.C, how do you like the T1 with the O2? Do you have to use the High gain (6.5x) on the O2 and where is the volume position at normal listening level?
I'm asking because I'm waiting for my T1 now and just build my O2 last week and I'm hoping to be able to pair them. My O2 have the gain set to 1x & 3x. I may have to increase the high gain.

Just to chime in and say I have exactly the same issue, round about the same 3:00 mark too with the T1's. Maybe actually just under. Before that threshold, it's amazing, detailed, sharp, punctual and amazingly revealing (lacking in sub bass a touch though, and perhaps a little too energetic at top, but only ever so slightly). But past that point? Sibilance starts rearing its ugly head, barging other sounds out the way and essentially forcing me to tone down the volume.
Shrill is exactly how I'd describe it too.
In a way it's good because I hate when I sometimes creep up to this stupidly high volume, but also weird that it happens. I don't have this same level of sibilance, or such a point of immediate sharpness with my other amps, as I do the O2. Wonder what the reason could be for it?
