I had some light sibilance on mine when it was new. It disappeared after a couple of weeks on its own. :beerchug: JC

Sounds like you should be living in the mountains. You must be running around in circles in Texas. :beerchug: JC

I tend to think that no two rooms are exactly alike. Each must be evaluated for its requirements. :beerchug: JC

That's the kind of question that if you have to ask it you definitely shouldn't be doing it. :beerchug: JC

I use it as a preamp into either my OG Aegir or OG Vidar. They're both driving speakers, though. I think that the MJ3 makes a fine preamp. With the right music it can create a HUGE soundstage, even with my favourite FM station as the source. As usual, YMMV. :beerchug: JC

I bought the one before you. 1519. :beerchug: JC

I bought my Gumby within days of its release (Aug 20, 2015). Its serial number begins with C06, It is multibit, not AKM DS. :beerchug: JC

That is normal operation. JC
