Find a good used Gumby to replace your Bifrost. That'll do it. :beerchug: JC

As will we all. :beerchug: JC

Better than yours by the sound of things, and I'm doing laundry. :beerchug: JC

Yeah, but there is that great guitar riff that, if you've got the volume set just right, extends right up through the ceiling. But yeah, I hear you. :beerchug: JC

Funny you should mention that. I have started listening to it recently and let me tell you, with an OG Aegir driving the speakers this song is worthy of a second chance. As always, YMMV. :beerchug: JC We're talking about the original Bob Seger version, right?

I couldn't listen to the Rolling Stone's Start Me Up for years after MS used it for the intro of Windows 98. I was an OS/2 user at the time. :beerchug: JC edit: or maybe it was Windows 95. Anyway, a long time ago.

But it is well deserved. :beerchug: JC

I guess that's at the root of the Pollyanna Complex, isn't it? :beerchug: JC

Well, aren't you the glass half full kind of guy? :beerchug: JC

High or low gain? Sounds like high gain to me from your description. Mine's currently doing preamp duty driving a Gjhorn (at low gain) in my basement system. :beerchug: JC

After adjustment, this is now message number 1.024. :beerchug: JC

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

If you were to be described in one word I'm sure that word must be 'humble'. :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

It's relative. :beerchug: JC

JC

Don't blame yourself, you just caught him on a good day. :beerchug: JC

+1 for this. I've been playing with room treatment for a few months now and can confirm that reducing the 'room noise' does indeed reduce distortion and allows increased volume levels. Little things like window coverings make a large difference. :beerchug: JC

Here's my recommendation for Eric Clapton fans. Acoustic. I don't stream audio so you'll have to find your own streaming info if needed. The Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions (Live). Enjoy, JC

Seriously. 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
