Hi Zen Mod,

I tweaked pumpkin with your recommendations, I had more gain in the stage, is that possible? I reduced the gain 47k instead of 100k.

the sound is different, difficult to say ...... more clarity, less dark, very precise, less warm, more attack.

I have to hear more material, of cause I was used to the old pumpkin sound that was a bit more relaxed.....

very interesting......

the pleasure continues, tweaking frontstage of BA-1......

have a sunny day: and don´t forget

[Zen Mod]

more gain in stage ?




naah ..... who cares what's culprit , as long you're able to tweak it to your needs

.... The more I hear with modified pumpkin music I can say To observe more details and they are better located in the soundstage. The reverberations around voices and the construction done by the sound mixer is comprehensible.

[Zen Mod]

surprised ?

that's famous ZM's witchcraft ........

Hi,

can I short-circuit the + and - outputs to ground for muting or is it not good for pumpkin?

Regards,
Marcel

Any downside to using a switched attenuator between them for volume control?

But Mr. ZM, you prefer the attenuator on the input side, right?

I'm gonna build that thing someday!!
