I switched back to +15. Might test +24 later and lowering the gain on the V200. Since I have the SPL Auditor, HD 800 and T1 headphones in addition to the LCD-2 I'm using now there's quite a lot of combinations to play around with to...

I opened the V800 and put the XLR connections in Lift position. I had already done that on the V200 so now they're both in Lift. The gain switches were all in the bottom position. The manual said they were supposed to be in the upper...

I'm using balanced connections. To do the tweak unscrew all the screws on the back of the amp, then the top screws on the front. This will allow the top part of the cover to slide back to be removed. On the second to last page in the...

I don't know how many have done this, but I opened up my V200 and changed the jumpers from Ground to Lift and the volume pot from AC to DC. It made an immediate difference in sound for the positive. If you feel like tweaking the sound...
