I was going to wait as well, but I came across a nice deal I couldn’t turn down on a MP3.3. I’ve only had integrated gear until now. This is my first set of monoblocks and first time using a separate preamplifier. I’ve gone through lots of gear in the past and most of it used RCA’s. I’ve tried from the bottom-of-the-line RCA’s to top-of-the-line and DIY as well. The results were all over the board. My DIY’s with Duelund wire, their RCA connectors, and Cardas solder sounded better to me than some of top brand cables. It was a pleasant surprise.
This is my first time with gear where I’m using the balanced/ XLR connections. I’ve only tried 2 XLR brands so far, but I’m pleased with my current setup This combo of gear with the Mogami’s sounds wonderful to me. My gear and cable chasing days are over. Now, on to the next part of my journey: room treatment.
If your dealer has an MP3.3 configured the way you want- grab it. YOLO...or whatever the kids say nowadays. It transformed my system and I have nothing but good things to say about it. BTW: I was using the Lumin streamer LeedH volume control direct to the monoblocks before it.
