Glad to hear that

Please observe if the battery issue is still there.





Update:
Here I am sitting with my two beauties....the MiniBox-E+ & Lisa III Std sitting pretty side by side.

I will not go into details yet, not until the Lisa III have clocked at least 200 hours.

BUT, I am struck how similar both sounded....it's not fair to compare a spanking new amp with another which has clocked 500 hours.

Stay tuned

It was then the garrulous feedback met the pristine door.

Congratulations! you will enjoy them I am sure. Past 300 hours you'd would not want to NOT listen to them everyday. It's like a drug to me now.....

Anyone know where these are now available?? Checked with Head Direct and their site says they're sold out.

Since it is refurbed (has funny stickers on the bottom and no pads on the corners, which my old MB had), I wonder how much burn-in it has logged on it. Either way, I love having a MB back under my roof. It's hard to listen to my phones without it.

Is yours the + version or the original non + version? Both are good, the + is just a better squared!

My belief is it's the + version, since it looks just like the one I had. But my guess is I will be able to tell via battery life. Wasn't that the major difference. It may already be burned in, not sure, since it sounds so good. The box was kinda ripped up too, didn't look new. Can't blame Fang. I sent the faulty one to the wrong address, and he never got it (used his old Delaware address, but he's now in NY). So I paid a fair fee and he shipped me the MB and a free pair of RE2s, which I gave to my nephew.

Anyway, I will track hours between charges. Do you remember the difference (was one 14-15 hours and the + 30?).

Edit: Duh. It says MiniboxE+ right on the front.

Pay attention to the notes...it will get airier circa 350-400 hours which is quite late in development.

Welcome to Head-Fi bro.....after lurking for so many years so you registered today hehehe.

No worries. you'll lotsa chance to listen to both of my amps

 

[GreatDane]

Hey EFN, you might have mentioned this but at what frequency is the bass boost on the MiniBox -E+ centered at and at how much gain? Thanks.

 

[dfkt]

Any chance of RMAA tests?

 

[EFN]

GreatDane:
I recall reading somewhere it's 6db bass boost. Perhaps someone can confirm this. But I do know the SuperMini-IV is using a 6db boost and this MiniBox-E+ does seems to have similar level


dfkt:
YGPM!

EFN,

Nice review. Hope all is fine with you.

Based on your review, I ordered the Minibox E+. I got an email later from head-direct that it would take two more weeks. Wish they had put a sold out sign on their site. (sigh!)

These puppies are hard to find on the F/S forum. Unless, miguel wants to unload his (hint, hint).

I think I am ready to move on from my beloved supermini. Of late, it is picking up distortions ( external sources) easily. I thought it was the iPoop that was causing the problem but other amps seem to be alright. I may send it back to Dr.xin later.
