Hello,
Trying to simplify my rig. I've read a bunch of threads about the Headway and also the Felix. It seems that the Felix is the preamp preference. However- I was wondering if anyone is using the Headway and is happy with it. I tried using the EA doubler preamp but does not have the gain necessary -when I send it to the MAS 18 which is powered.- very disappointing.

Not wild about spending $1100 on a preamp- Maybe the AI Flex tops....

Best

Great combo, I gig with the MAS 1/8 Headway when I don’t need the Grace Designs Felix. I own the Remic’s and use them as well. If you have an older MAS 1/8 you should look into changing out the IcePower module for the Pascal. That could likely solve your issues. The Headway EDB-2 will also up the gain. I own both Remic’s and they also sound Great, there are frequently for sale in the TB classifides and there is/was a EDB-2 there as well.

Thanks Vice!

Yes- My MAS 18 is brand new with the 1200W Pascal- though I'm not sure what is going on with it - I've reached out to Mike but have not heard back from him- hopefully soon. I'll have to try the Headway EDB-2.

Wells---I'll call you back today. Things have been crazy here. Just got back from my daughter's wedding and now my father-in-law is dying and it's taking all of my time.

Mike- thank you for getting back to me and so sorry about your father-in-law. I tried a few things after we spoke and I think I need to get a solid preamp for my remic. I put the Arkham though the MAS 18 and it sounded good..... lots of testing on my part!
