This first picture shows the output from a speaker I am working on. The yellow line is the Mundorf modded amp, with the green line from the original.
I use my MP-1 as the signal generator, and I tested at an elevated volume level. I also disconnected the active woofer.
The slight rise in output below 1200Hz, gave a more fleshed out sound to my speakers. Female voice had a bit more body.
There is also a slight rise above 4K Hz.
What's interesting to me is the distortion measurements.
If you go back and forth between the two pictures, you will see the Mundorf modded amp has slightly lower distortion starting at 200Hz. There are a few small spikes in the original amp (namely at 430Hz). This lower distortion was easy to enjoy from day one, and I might go so far as to say it's getting better.
Over the last two weeks I have listened to a fair bit of music. One of my favorite albums is Dead Can Dance, Into the Labrynth. I have to say, the better the album, the more noticeable the improvements.
Time to listen to more music.
