Mojo Audio Mystique EVO

@grannyring @veroguy Your speakers may perform better at louder volumes. For example, there’s a consensus that the Scanspeak Revelator series woofers are power-hungry speakers, which means that the woofers sing their best at louder volumes than at low levels. This information is from users that I’ve talked to for home and car audio systems.

I have experience with 7100 and 6600 AirCirc tweeters on the dash of my car, and I currently use the Revelator woofers in my Ellam-FLEX 3W. These speakers keep their composure at loud volumes, and you’re naturally going to hear more details.

I’m not saying that you’re not hearing what you’re hearing. I believe you regarding the sound swelling as you turn up the volume. You know your system better than anyone, and I’m looking forward to owning a Mojo EVO DAC in the future.

I would like to know if anyone has tinkered with the ground lift and ground post in Mojo Audio products. What were your findings?

@mitch2 Have you read the thread regarding the Schroeder method (SM)? SM involves using XLR or RCA splitters to utilize a pair of interconnects per channel instead of a single cable per channel for those who aren't familiar. Read what steakster and douglas_schroeder have to say about SM and digital cables. Steakster nails the description. The key take-aways from the link above are that SM works with uneven lengths of cables and can mix different cable brands.

I recently implemented SM in my system with four single-ended ICs and four AudioQuest hard RCA splitters. The female RCA inlets are too close to comfortably use these spitters with large RCA plugs like the Xhadow connectors that the Cerious Graphene Matrix uses. You might be able to get away using these splitters with one large Xhadow connector and a regular RCA connector. Otherwise, using two large connectors would put stress on the center pins. Other splitters will allow you to use two pairs of Cerious GM cables without a problem.

The downside to SM is that it adds weight that the input/output jacks have to support. Other than that, the Schroeder method is absolutely worth an audition.

I received the Mystique Evo on the 22nd of January, and I've been too busy listening to my system than to bother logging onto Audiogon. My system puts me "in the zone" every time I listen now. 

Grannyring mentioned that the music swells when raising the volume. My interpretation of his statement to what I hear with the EVO is that we were used to hearing the amplification of distortion when the volume was raised. Now we hear the amplification of a clear signal, and it's a new experience. When turning the volume down, there is still audible information that I was not used to hearing before having the Evo.
