[US Blues]

A roommate back in '74 just returned from Vietnam. School on the VA. He shipped back a system, Marantz if I remember correctly, with large lattice grill speakers. The speakers included an interior mod. Leafy green/brown sound absorbing material

Proper sonic modifications were hard to come by here in the US back in the day.

@r2muchstuff Consider also posting your record covers on the "What are you listening to thread" as we'd appreciate seeing them there as well.

I use a splitter to take my Yggdrasil to both my Freya S and Jotunheim, and that works well for me.

I don’t have any splitters on hand so before buying a set, I am running through the Freya S as suggested.

Seems to work well. Running Freya S in passive mode with volume knob all the way up and controlling HP volume with Rag 2.

I do something similar with my Freya+, with it's vol maxed then use Rag2 for volume. Its a little awkward because R2 can handle source switching as well, but I much prefer the R2 attenuator to Freya's personally.

Why do you need a splitter when Yggy has 2 rca outputs and a balanced output?

 

[45longcolt]

All music is real; it's the audience that can be fake.

Umm, Spice Girls? Milli Vanilli?

Laugh while you still can, monkey boy!

Wonder if Christopher Lloyd looks back on BB a career highlight. Or if it's more a case of any movie you got paid to make is a good one.

I guess you probably don’t. I could use SE for Freya and XLR for Rag2.

I’ve read that some believe Yggy balanced output performs better than SE, but I’ve never had a problem.

Milli Vanilli was the first concert I ever attended (11 years old). Ended up getting a portion of the cost of the tickets, t-shirt and a CD refunded as part of the class action lawsuit. I like to think my taste in music has improved slightly since then.

Hey, we all have musical skeletons in our closets.

And even though the performance was faked, the music was real.

Mine is in 1968 when I was 15 and chose to go see Paul Revere and the Raiders instead of Jimi Hendrix, so yea...

Perhaps a good time to try for yourself. You could become a Balanced Truther, or a Balanced Deny-er.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried Rag2 as a preamp, and compared it to Freya?

Aaah, "lettuce" grill speakers. Gotcha! ;p
I imagine the Dead never sounded better than through that system…
