Thanks. Sent them an email. I have the crackling problem as well. Its more like 'dead zone' - 'crackle zone' - 'music coming through but too loud zone'   For anyone with this issue, here's a quick video I made illustrating my problem.     

Yeap. Tried everything short of opening the unit up.   Its not a channel imbalance thing. Might be a short inside the unit. Occurs between 8 and 10 o'clock.

I just ran into this problem with a Fulla Schiit unit I just received.  I don't really want to send this back as I'm based in SG and shipping costs are quite expensive. If anyone has the same problem or a solution please let me know.   Here's the problem: There's a zone on the volume knob...

Sigh. Its only getting harder cause I'm in the UK. Cant find any decent cable providers.  Anyone have links?

Hi guys,   I am trying to recable my DT770 250ohm to one without the curled cord as it is getting really annoying. I was wondering what are some cable options that I can try.    I really like the look of transparent teflon casing exposing copper cables within. I have seen quite a few...

I'm using VOX currently with my music folder being in a mess. Its just one huge folder with album names

Hi guys, Was wondering if anyone could recommend a program in OSX (Preferably free) that can do the following: Organise .flac files into folders like iTunes and name them Artist > Album Play .flac files Recognise and be able to type Chinese characters Good to have the following...

Hoping I didn't get a dud.

I formatted within the Fiio.

Hi guys,   I just bought a new Fiio X1 but I cant seem to load music on it! I cannot get USB to work on OSX. Is it even supported?

Just to make sure before I order, can the balanced output at the back of the unit be attached straight to my pair of HD650s or do they have to go through a balanced amp first?

I'm not good at electronics so I'm just going to throw this stupid question out. Does the wattage of resistors matter? I have access to relatively reasonable priced kiwame resistors. Was wondering if I can use them to replace those in the amp.

I've decided to build a Bijou after reading this thread from start to end. I'm going to order the kit from GJA soon. But I have a question to start off with, if I'm building a balanced build, is there a recommended transformer to use? I know for the SE version, Hammond 270DAX is recommended but...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a balanced bijou? I've tried to find one but only found the single ended version. Also does NFB work here? Do you need one pot or two for this balanced NFB set up if applicable. I intend to wire left and right audio volume pot seperately.

I got a new question! Will that wire bump around inside the teflon and cause microphonics?

Hey guys, i've got a random thought. I have read that the beta 22 runs real hot. So, is it possible to add a fan in the casing, such as what little dot do to the mkvi+?

I would like to ask one more thing. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one 100VA s22 to power 4x B22 boards versus two 50VA s22 to power two sets of 2x B22 boards. I'm kinda on budget and using one s22 saves me quite a bit if it does not compromise on sound.

Okok, don't flame me. I know it would oxidize, I just want to slow the process down a few notches you know. I'm looking for a reasonable solution to this problem. So far I intend to get heat shrink to seal up the ends of the Teflon, and sleeve the whole cable to prevent oxidation from being seen.

As above. I am thinking of buying bare wire and doing some DIY sleeving using teflon. But since my teflon is of a slightly larger size (for the cable to go through easily), how do I prevent the silver in the wire from oxidizing? Provided that air between the teflon and wire will cause it to...

Hi guys. I've read this thread all the way from post #1 to #2384 and I'm seriously contemplating building a two board b22 with a s22. I've built the pimeta a couple of cmoy and the mini3 from amb. However I am relatively lousy at troubleshooting if any problems pop up. I am willing to learn of...
