Dear Head-Fi Friends,
I sent my Geekout V2 and V2 INFINITY in for upgrading to the 2A. In the mean time, I've purchased the Beyerdynamic T1 (second gen.) which is 600ohms. I've also ordered the TRRS adapter from Surf Cables,LLC ($85). I realize the T1 is a bit much even for the GOV2A, but I'm going to try. I'm hoping that the balanced operation of the 2A with it's increased voltage will do the job--albeit just barely. I've only had a few days with the T1 using my old GO450 and boy it's a smooth sounding can. I think the GOV2A will put out about 65mW (balanced).
I had just received the GOV2 INFINITY 2 days before finding out about the GOV2A upgrade and had to send it off. BUT, the INFINITY is a whole other level of refinement above the standard V2. That being said, I'm not sure there will be ANY difference between the standard V2 and the V2 INFINITY after the upgrade--other than the extra filter and power setting.
Anyway, the Infinity was incredible in it's standard form. I can only imagine how the upgrade will sound!
If LH Labs brings the GOV2A to market after the upgrades are done, look out! I don't think there will be anything on the market of this type that can compete with it.
I will keep everyone advised to all of this above information and how it all performs when I get my upgrades back from LH Labs.
Cheers,
