Mackie 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) I'm using UM2 with PA2V2 and the only gripe I have is not sound quality but gain. Since a small adjustment of the volume knob will produce a moderate volume level, I have to make fine adjustment of the knob to achieve my desired volume. It never got past the 9 o'clock mark. Sound wise, UM2 sounds much better through PA2V2 than direct from a pcdp source ie Pannie SL-CT720. Use the included comply short tips as they give a better balance in bass and treble. Treble rolloff is further exacerbated with long tips. A Shure 3 flange modded to 2 flange is also highly recommended.

aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) ^ Unlike me, with someone in my class who claims all the geek cred due to his intense love for fruits. Haha, when I said that I wanted to upgrade from my UM1 (which was sadly gone without a trace), he suggested Apple-In ears. Well Well Well... And when I suggest EP630, I am accused of being a crazy Creative fanboy by every one else, because of him not really liking Creative, sigh, look who's talking... EDIT: Shesh, this sounds like a vicious attack. No harm intended to anyone... Edited October 2, 2006 by aaron-xp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Shesh, this sounds like a vicious attack. No harm intended to anyone... Lol, similar encounter for me. I have been doing graphic designing (graphic) for 7 years now, and started DSLR photography 3 years ago. Got into JC this year and met this nice friend in my CCA who downloaded Photoshop CS II, and probably read a couple of tutorials, went challenging me in CCA. Lol imagine that, answering amateurish questions and got slap everytime I can't answer smart-alec questions like "When you are doing colour correction right, normally what is correct har?" Next he was boasting during CCA that he will be getting a Sony Alpha 100, and its capabilities with so-called in built "image stabliser", which on my stand, image stabliser is best built on lenses. And he goes laughing at my Canon collection of lenses, saying I wasted too much $, while he can do better with the kit lens. Lol... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
