thrice Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I built it I'd be happy to change the gain for free. 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!

jinp6301 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 wtf, I just listened to the m^3 with Senn 580s and WOW, its so much better then I've ever heard 580s sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 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...

jinp6301 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yea, its totally possible. Ask thrice or misterx for a timeframe. But keep in mind, it sounds TOTALLY different from a GS-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Like how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungi Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hm, something about "warm and bassy" appeals less to me than "cold and analytical." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I somehow doubt the GS-1 sounds that way. Probably revealing the flaws of a shitty source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Maybe, I havent heard it enough to be really informed about it But compared to the m^3, thats how it sounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 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...

Cankin Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstateguy Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 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.

swt61 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well let's be real, the β22 made it kind of obsolete. And it was too big for a paper weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
