lol more pics the merrier... ohh those 501s look nice. What wires were used in em? I am trying to recable this one- the blue dragon v1 was way too stiff and i sold em. Im thinking of nordost solar wind, patrick style. Do you have pics of the oehlbach senn cable?

I never realized that was an actual glow in those pics.. I though it was the color of something inside... Its amazing how in broad daylight the photo captured the glow...

I have no DIY ability. I definitely respect people who can do that stuff (and do it well). Alex who recabled my K501s and (K701) told me the cable was of his own make, 1/4 copper and 3/4 silver. I'm a little nervous as I don't have much experience with silver cables. I hope I like the sound. That's what happens when you come into a little money. No will power to save or buy stuff I really need. The oehlbach is a nice cable, far better than the stock 580. I'm not sure how it compares to the HD650 which is a nice cable for stock. I'll try to take some pictures over the weekend.

Getting back on topic, the ++ amazes me each day. My HD650s sound good with the GL, but this thing doesn't near have the power of my ++. I'm beginning to think that the DPS is a must. I just need some funds to clear before I order it. Do you and Laxx ever get together for mini audio meets. We should do that sometime.

i see that you have owned quite many amps

"Sold: Total AirHead ▪ Corda HA1 ▪ LD2+ ▪ Corda Aria ▪ LD MicroTube"

Do you prefer the LD2++ to those ? Or were you just short of cash and sold the expensive ones ?

great recable of those K501. The cable looks so cool...

Just recieved a new pair for my collection.. MS1's... I just wonder howcome the volume needs to be turned further up than with my HD600's ? i mean.. the HD600 is 300ohm and the MS1's 32 ohm... shouldnt the MS1's play way louder with the same volume ?...

And should i remove the high/low impedance jumper for use with the MS1's ?.. Does it make a difference at all ? but with my swapping phones after my mood it doesnt make sense to rejumper it every time i swich between high and low impedance phones...

thought that low resistance.. low ohm implied high sensitivity (loud) and reversed high ohm low sensitivity (not as loud)

but i guess that it is'nt the truth then...

And I am about to sell my Total BitHead as well. Just doesn't get enough use. So you can add that to the list. Here's the short version of my amp history. Total Airhead was a pretty weak amp. This is an early model. I think they are much better now. Sold it to get an HA1. Used that forever. Loved it. Aria came out (usb connection), so I sold the HA1 to fund that purchase. Was curious about tubes so I bought a LD2+. It had problems so I exchanged it for a ++. Loved the ++ (still do) so I got a Micro Tube to complement it. Didn't care for that as much. Returned it. Started to yearn for the clear crisp sound of solid state, so I purchased a Gilmore Lite. That takes me to the present. Once I sell my BitHead, it will just be my ++ and GL. The ++ is a solid little amp. Don't see myself selling it for a while. I also just ordered the DPS for the Lite. As you can tell, I use the term "sold" pretty loosely.

I am drooling over those pics. The phones are not in my possession yet. Much looking forward to hearing them though.

I have never taken out the jumpers. I switch phones so often, it doesn't make sense. I think the ++ drives all my phones pretty well.

Sounds like you need another LittleDot II++!

One with jumpers, one without! Color code them- Black unit with black jumpers and silver unit for the shiney metal you see with no jumper!

It crackles and stuff then goes dead, i switched sides and nothing, so i'm sure it's the tube.
