yes, it does... I'm using TP Joshua Tree for volume control, and I have no idea how it behave on power-off.

Hi, Lately I've noticed some power-off thump in one side with my ~2 years old balanced b22. I'm not sure if this is a new thing for the amp or something that was always there. (I've upgraded my headphones to HD800 recently) I've rechecked all the voltages and for DC offset and everything...

Another one in.

cfcubed, Very nice build. Where did you get this case?

Mr. Majestic - Amazing build, it look perfect. I really like the encapsulated trafos, where did you got those?

As I said before, it's a 4 conductor wire, all the way from the elements to the plug, but... At the Y split the ground is shared, I've validated it before, but now I've cracked open the old y-splitter and took some pics. You can see my new connector, my new glue covered y-split , and the...

It's OK, it sound fantastic as it is. And I don't have the the stock cable anymore, as I practically destroyed it in the process Thanks anyway...

I don't believe in statistics, not when it comes to abusing few hundreds worth of perfectly good equipment. Anyway, I've found a post where some state that the AD2000 have 4-conductors wire, but the ground is shared, which make no sense. I'll probably try it anyway.

I don't get your post, The AD2000 can be in the remaining 1%. To be clear, I want to use the stock cable, and just change the plug into 4-PIN XLR. Have someone done this with the ATH-AD2000 before?

I'm getting a pair soon(hopefully tomorrow), and I need to have them balanced. Should I be able to reterminate them, or I'll need to do a full recable?

Opus DAC->Beta22

The Headroom standard is completely messed up, not only using 3-pin xlr, but using female ones(as opposed to the standard for xlr output - male). I believe that they have done that due to the availability of Neutrik combo plugs(XLR/TRS). 4-pin xlr makes more sense, the only...

I've compared them head-to-head when I bought my K701, about a year ago. The GS1000 have a nice big soundstage, but little smaller then the K701.

The problem is, that the seller have already payed his sale tax, and it 's contained in the sale price. no one care. Imagine a 200$ amp, bought by someone in the US(that paid I-don't-know-how-much local sale tax) , sold to someone in Netherlands(for 200$), who paid 19$ import tax on it. Then...

I'm the friend KT88 talked about. My β22 is balanced so the affective gain is 4. And have been used with TPA Opus DAC which have 2V output IIRC. To reach listenable volume levels, the knob has been set to about 75%(using TPA JT). I agree that it's not optimal for the K1000. Anyway, I...

Got a new(used) pair of headphones(ATH-W10VTG), so I thought that this is a good occasion to a first post in this thread. (The K1000 aren't mine, unfortunately)

Regards the Twisted X Overture, Correct me if I wrong about that, but having a b22 building you can build some gain clone boards, and feed them out of the b22(four of them, for fully balanced config), you don't really need the TXD.

Thanks. I'll report back after I'll change the caps(going to try BG as you did...).
