I listened to Friday's FOB mk4v>t00bs pull straight through (Macbook> Musical Fidelity X-24k> Creek OBH-11> AKG k701) and had a grand old time dancing my ass off without any effect on the soundstage.
Today I blasted Last night's gig on the speaker rig (Macbook> Musical Fidelity X-24k> Custom Passive Pre> Marantz MA500 monoblocks> Focal Tantal 507s + BIC sub)
Thank you TS.com for all the playback advice required to play crispy FOBs to their full potential! It's keeping me sane.
