January 16, 200818 yr comment_88134 yep, it's pretty easy...don't even need an iron really, just pliers and your forearms. If I built it I'd be happy to change the gain for free. PM me and I'll get you my address. Report

PM me and I'll get you my address. Hmm, I have both pliers AND forearms. I can probably do it myself. Thanks for the offer though! I'll get back to you when something actually breaks Report
January 17, 200818 yr Author comment_88430 wtf, I just listened to the m^3 with Senn 580s and WOW, its so much better then I've ever heard 580s sound Report
January 17, 200818 yr comment_88432 Is it possible to make one of these things like the GS-1, with 2 headphone outs, 2 inputs, and a loop or preamp out? Not knocking Justin or Headamp (I would really like a GS-1) but if this can be done in a similar or less price and in less than a month... Report
January 17, 200818 yr Author comment_88434 Yea, its totally possible. Ask thrice or misterx for a timeframe. But keep in mind, it sounds TOTALLY different from a GS-1 Report
January 17, 200818 yr Author comment_88436 The GS-1 is colder and analytical while the m^3 is warm and bassy. I really liked Senn 600s with the GS-1 at the nyc meet This is all imo, with my ears etc etc etc Report

[/Valley Girl] wtf, I just listened to the m^3 with Senn 580s and WOW, its so much better then I've ever heard 580s sound Plecebo. I recall you raving about the dac ah, a day before you decided it sucked and you need to sell it I call bs. GOOD STUFF Report

I recall you raving about the dac ah, a day before you decided it sucked and you need to sell it I call bs. GOOD STUFF I did not RAVE!!! I said it was a good dac, which I stand behind. Its just not the most fun dac to listen to!!! Its sounds slow compared to the entech Report
January 17, 200818 yr comment_88440 Hm, something about "warm and bassy" appeals less to me than "cold and analytical." Report
January 17, 200818 yr comment_88445 I somehow doubt the GS-1 sounds that way. Probably revealing the flaws of a shitty source Report
January 17, 200818 yr Author comment_88479 Maybe, I havent heard it enough to be really informed about it But compared to the m^3, thats how it sounded Report
January 17, 200818 yr comment_88516 I haven't heard either amp, but it's possible that the GLite has less noise and distortion than other solid-state or tube amps. If people become accustomed to compromised music, the Gilmore might sound leaner or more sterile... just a theory I've heard the other amps have better soundstage, though... Report
January 17, 200818 yr comment_88621 Just removed those AD744s from my M^3 and put AD843s in it. It sounds almost the same as before. But it runs hotter than before, so I won't put my 0404 USB on top of it now. I'd probably try OPA627, but I can't find it anywhere. Report

January 18, 200818 yr comment_88772 most likely, I'm deaf as a doorknob Hi Jin I don't think you're deaf... I hear pretty much the same thing you describe between my GS-1 and my 8065 M^3. One way of saying it might be that the GS-1 is brighter and has less bass than the M^3. Another way of saying it might be that the M^3 appears to have a fuller warmer sound that gives pianos, guitars, drums and voices a very realistic timbre. And still another way of saying it might be that the GS-1's sound signature is slanted toward the higher frequencies while the M^3's sound signature tilts in the other direction. And yet another way might be that the GS-1 has a cleaner, clearer, more refined "hi-fidelity" sound that some might refer to as being more analytical and not as robust by comparison. There is however, another quality I notice in the GS-1 that I don't think I hear in the M^3. Asr called it holographic. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's being able to hear deeper into the music. I don't know. But what ever it is, I'm going to leave it to those more versed in describing such things and just agree with your basic analysis. USG YMMV of course. Report

January 18, 200818 yr comment_88899 The M? is definitely a nice amp. I spent a little time with one that Nate built, and I enjoyed it very much. For the money it's hard to beat. Report

January 18, 200818 yr comment_88909 Well let's be real, the β22 made it kind of obsolete. And it was too big for a paper weight. Report
January 19, 200818 yr comment_89033 how much would one pay for an M3? I might be scoring a PPAv2 + STEPS for $200 Report
January 19, 200818 yr comment_89055 how much would one pay for an M3? I might be scoring a PPAv2 + STEPS for $200 That's a hell of a deal, unless the amp was built terribly. Feel free to shoot me a PM with a link to the amp for sale and I'll take a look at it for you. Report
