Then we are in agreement. What a groove on some of those songs! I have tuned a LOT of circuits with the help of that record.

Is That Enough ;-)

It's a refined version of the K92 (the queen of the bargain at 45€), more musical, with better isolation, comfortability and more accessories.

Haven't listened yet, but will do... One thought: is it possible to stream Spotify directly to the DS, rather than Airplay'd, to make it a fair 'fight'? Or Airplay each in turn to change only the stream service? (assuming the same recording) IME, Spotify sounds best with the desktop app on a wired ...

I already own it and I’m listening to it right now!

And agree, the best MG album

NM on Discogs is 90% garbage

M.

Matteo, do yourself a favour and buy some originals instead of the reissues. You'll be positively surprised! Crazy prices, high shipping costs and a lot of VG+ or NM that are unlistenable (this is my very bad experience in the last months on Discogs). I will never buy an used LP in my whole life. M.

Just found another giant killer for 119 € (on Amazon):

I’will give a try to this using the 3,5 input of the ADSM (that I rate very good):

Yesterday I tried this splitter.

The sound detrimental is limited, but one input sounds different from the other.

I wouldn't be sure about the jack splitter impact. Connectors and adaptors are mysterious; some simply sound good while others do more damage than I think is reasonable, given how simple the part is. When developing Giella, I bought many 6.35 and 3.5 mm jacks. Then I listened to all of them and sel...

Why not? The ADSM has two pre/out

;-)

Thanks Matteo! Remote control would have been nice, but the result would have been a less musical sound, due to the necessary digital circuit. Headphone jacks on the front would also result in a less musical sound, due to the required internal cabling. The only purpose of Giella is to be as musical...

Congratulations for this new product!

Personally, I would have preferred a different (and possibly unique in the market) item though (cheapier, without knob, with a remote and with 2 headphones inputs on the front 6.3 / 3.5 mm, even better with two separate volume controls).

But this is only me.

IME, Spotify is quite decent on the desktop app and awful on the other devices (including Linn streamers)

I prefer the bass in the clip 2

M.

For me, "A" has a better bass (more in tune).

The regular outputs of a preamp can also work, then you'll have to set the Giella volume knob to a fixed position (as high as practical is recommended), switch off your power amp and use the volume of the preamp. Interesting! Does "as high as paractical" mean at maximum level? Any indications of th...
