    Just thought I'd stop by.

    The amp's been running for ~150 hours now, the sound has improved leaps and bounds in the past couple of days.

    Running 2 x 4562NA at the moment. I have the THS4032 in it's packaging, I may pop it in if the fancy takes me, but the clarity has really started to come through. The bass has tightened up nicely and the atonality has cleared up a treat. The reverb (something the K701's do exceptionally well imo) is almost haunting on occasion, very nice!
    It's picking up ridiculous amounts of detail, e.g. cracks and pops from old recordings. I was worried something was broken initially, then it occured to me that it was the recording.

    I can't imagine the sound will change much beyond this, in which case I'll be very happy.

    Have you done the MLC mods? BTW, I think you mean tonality

    You just can't resist having a dig at anyone can you, my friend?

    From the Oxford English Dictionary:
    atonal
    /ayton’l/

    • adjective: Music not written in any key or mode.

    — DERIVATIVES atonality noun.


    Remember that you ex-colonial types are only borrowing the English language for a while before you adopt Spanish. In the meantime, make an effort to understand it.

    I haven't done the MLC mods, I think it's probably better to see how it runs in before I do. It mightn't need it.

    The atonality I was describing was the 'one note bass' mentioned earlier in the thread. Bass seems much more like part of the music instead of a weapon of war now

    There you go again.
    If you want to call me an asshole in Spanish, that's fine. No-one would expect anything else from you.

    You need to learn the difference between humour (with a 'u') and insult. Friendly banter and rudeness.

    You really are a star!!
