I like to say Herbie's Audio products do work as advertised. I'm a satisfied customer.

Hey guys,
I got some tender feet from her or and there's a small but noticeable improvement with the Yggy - can I ask you where you are placing them and what orientation? Wide side up or down?

Thanks!

I always put them in a little bit diagonally inward from the stock footers, wide side up.

It's a nice if modest, improvement to detail resolution, I also got a pair of supersonic stabilisers - playing with their placement. They usually say put in the middle of the device's too - but I suspect that with the Yggy, because the mesh - the exact Center isn't quite the structural Center of the case...

I usually find placing a footer under or around a components transformer(s) to be beneficial.
 
 
3 footers = good sonic results and easy to balance / level the component.
 
4 footers = generally even better sonic results, but harder to balance / level the component.
 
5+ footers = YMMV. Sometime it's sonically beneficial and other times not. Depends on the component and setup in general.
                   (It's best to use height adjustable footers - so that they all make good contact with the bottom of the component).

Thanks mate - where are the transformers on the Yggy? if you're looking at it from front? Thank you!

Left side. Just put them slightly diagonally-inward in from the stock footers, like I described above, on all four footers. Balanced. All make contact with the chassis. Done.

Thanks mate - I've done that, I'm now trying to place the supersonic stabilizers

  I'd be interested in comparisons to the Hugo/HugoTT
 
Thanks!

I can give you a comparison between the Yggy and the 2qute
 
It ain't close .The Yggy is better in every category .Soundstage,clarity,treble ,better bass. Acoustic  music is a revelation with the Yggy. 
 
I think the 2qute is very good .I have one and am keeping it.  But the Yggy damn! 
 
By the way I think the 2qute very close to the MB Gungnir in quality just not the Yggy.

Thanks Mate,
That was an old post - I've now had the Yggy for several months - can't be happier!

Is a Yiggy worth it if I can't take advantage of the balanced outputs? SE RCA only...

Yes.

Speaking of isolation feet, what's the thread size of the Yggy's standard ones?

 

[Maconi]

iFi iUSB3.0 in the chain

 
So did you hear any difference using the iFi iUSB 3.0? Since the Yggdrasil isn't galvanic (it isn't isolated from the USB power) I assume it helps some? Also, isn't the Gemini a USB 2.0 cable?

I've had good results setting my Yggy on this:

Yggy SQ is better using the stock rubber feet with the bambo cutting board, than using with Herbie's Tenderfoot Isolation feet, IMO.
