I'm thoroughly enjoying my factory refurb M3. Very detailed, dynamic.
I've tried both outputs, the direct and the one with a 270-Ohm resistor in series. While the direct output can border on bright with a few of my LPs I find output 2 to have less "air" around instruments and vocals, almost a bit closed in sounding. Is this the general consensus? I much prefer Output 1. Down the road I may have Wheezer's mod done to allow the use of a warmer sounding 6922 (JJs?), but for now, I'm happy.
