Pardon my interruption, sir, but we have a package for Lord ValentineLuke.
It looks so nice. Carry on buddy!
Pretty silly, huh?
Pretty classy
Quick update: Anyone looking for a ‘high-end’ interconnect should strongly consider these. They’re extremely transparent, without coloring the signal (that I can detect). They’re just about as good as my Kimber Select Series Hybrid cables that cost 3x the amount. These are very good, imo.
Cheers!
Ok let’s calm down on the images now
i let my feelings get the upper hand on me
for anyone who is convinced more power to you
Haha. Tommy gonna crash the forum with all of those pictures!
im a bad person
Lets go lol, how’s it been so far?
I love that Yeti made a high end, high performance tall boy coozy.
I’m drinking my coffee out of a Yeti as I type this.
I really like it. I think it took me about half an hour to adjust (I am missing the power cord so am using the one from G111 atm) so I could only compare it with the RNHP, both hooked to BF2. At first it felt a little bit dull/dry for vocals compared to RNHP, but as soon as I switch to more instrument heavy music like jazz and classical I think its strength in bass extension, width of stage and the resolution show how impressive this little thing is. Off memories I think it’s closer to G111 than RNHP, being the more neutral version of the former. Its stage is wider than RNHP but a bit more precise than G111, possibly has slightly better resolution than RNHP, bass is between RNHP and G111. But RNHP still has a bit more depth and better separation/layers of sound and possibly more appealing timbre (is it more realistic/natural? I am not sure, but more pleasing to my ears), so I’d say the Monotor is generally on par with RNHP and G111, with strength and weakness to each of their own.
A few annoying thing:
- Noise floor more noticeable than RNHP
- The tiny volume pot
- Takes XLR and TRS input, no RCA (I am not a pro)
- Prone to electrical interference – cannot place my phone within 20cm of it
Wow, that’s pretty much exactly my thoughts on it as well (in the little labs thread) lol, glad you are enjoying it
Interesting, I didn’t get that on my unit at all, neither the interference
You can use ts to rca cables if needed
That was what prompted me to purchase it lol. I think it’s a good recommendation, at least with first impression I like the three studio amps equally as they excel at different things. Any DAC pairings recommendations? I know you mentioned Allo DAC but that seems to be a step down from what I have atm. I am also considering using the Monotor as a transportable setup so I don’t mind trading absolute SQ for a bit of portability for the DAC. I still have an ENOG Pro which I originally planned to use as a transportable DAC, is it generally on par with Allo?
I actually wanted to ask what you meant by it being more forward as I kinda got a mixed impression here: RNHP has a more intimate stage generally but instruments seem to be placed a bit further, whereas the Monotor seems to have a larger stage but then instruments are placed closer (and also a bit flatter)
Is it possible that the unit I received is not 100% functional?
could be due to the power cable or other electrical quirks, try moving it to a different room and see how that goes. Let’s take this over to the other thread for now and we can talk there
