[Astral Abyss]

I've had the pleasure of listening to the Abyss 1266 tc on the standard Milo. You will not be disappointed! It drives them wonderfully.

As long as it is comparable to the quality of WA33 then I’ll be happy. It’s more powerful then the Woo.

Just be sure to give it time to warm up before passing judgement. It's not your standard SS.

Aaaaa YES,I took delivery of my Milo a few days ago.It was sitting in the back of a delivery truck with temperatures hovering around freezing.I gave it a half an hour to warm up before listening,wasnt overly thrilled with what I was hearing(not bad,just not what I had hoped for).Went to bed and let it sit powered on overnight,the next day it sounded MUCH better,pheeew,money not wasted!! I'm still tinkering around with my rig,probably a couople weeks away from getting it all buttoned up,but its sounding better every day.Purchased it used from here with low hours,so most of the burn-in time was probably in place.I will be leaving it on 24/7,Jeff said that would be perfectly fine.

Milo. and I'm assuming the reference are a very good match with the TC's (and any abyss.) Hope you enjoy it

I can’t think of a different sound then the WA33. I wanted to add a high powered ss to my mix.

Hey guys, I bought a used Milo (standard, no upgrades) and I'm wondering if the high noise floor is common with sensitive cans? I mainly hear this on my Fostex th900. It is very noticeable without music playing, once I play music you can't really hear it.
Thanks for your input in advance.

Yeah, that's normal. It has 30db gain stock. Works great with lower sensitivity cans like my Abyss Diana and HE-6.

Very normal. It has 30db gain stock, which is high for a headphone amp. Works a treat with Abyss, HE6, Susvara etc...but you might run into some noise with sensitive cans. IF you mainly use sensitive cans, you could send it to Jeff Wells and get him to lower the gain by 12db.

You could also use a preamp with it. That is what I did when I had the Milo.

 

[wormsdriver]

Thank you for your input guys, good to know it's normal.

I bought upraded version and the nosie with th900 was on really low level but there was sometimes nit enough power to drive Abyss... so I had to replace resistors on Khozmo, Abbys are very well driven but the level of nosie with sensitive cans is higher.

 

[tommir]

Except for this nosie this is a great combination th900 with Miło.

 

[wormsdriver]

Thank you for this info @tommir I really appreciate it!
I will save some cash and keep the Milo as is and not upgrade to the khozmo as I can definitely live with it as is.

Just got the Milo Reference hooked up playing off my holo audio spring 2 kte and it sounds amazing testing the HEDD which is low sensitivity at 87. Can’t believe this has so much power and weights nothing. I like the blacked out plexi see some of the wires and components.
