So the milo I purchased died when tested before being shipped.

If anyone in the forum chooses to sell theirs at some point, gimme a shout.
Prefer xlr and some upgrades over stock. Thanks all
(yes I did make a wtb on the for sale)

What volume do you guys listen at with the kozmo? Curious if this amp is on the quiet side as far as volume goes, or loud?

There are a couple different versions of the Khozmo attenuator that Jeff uses. There was one that had a more gradual ramp and one that was more aggressive. Either way, there is a lot of gain on the Milo, so it generally gets loud quickly.

Hmm, i feel like the attenuator adds a bit of nuance/flexibility. I crank up anywhere from 11oclock to noon to power by Abyss Phi.
I'd imagine it would be closer to 9oclock without the attenuator, which presumably drops even further for more sensitive cans.
The stepped volume dial from the attenuator upgrade is also a pleasure to use.

Hi,

A question to folks who owned both Milo and Headtrip. Is Headtrip much more powerful? In most cases Milo drives my 1266 OG very well but sometimes it could be louder (recordigns with poor dynamics), especially when I listen to the metal music.

Yes, the Headtrip is more powerful, but it does have the same DB of gain the Milo has. Your best bet is email Jeff Wells and explain the situation. I would have thought the Milo, if it has the stock gain of 30db and not the attenuated version, would be powerful enough.

Good point, thanks.

Hi,

didn't get any answer from Wells Audio but got one from Arek Kallas, Khozmo's manufacturer. I was told I need to replace 2 vishaz resistors, from 47K to e.g. 10K.
Just ordered them.

I’ll be joining in the fun soon. Ordered a reference Milo. Jeff just finished building it so I took it at a discount. If I love it and it gives me great SQ on my 1266 tc then I might move on to the HT. Should have it next week.

Forgot to write about replacement. Everything went ok and I can drive speakers.now :)
