Yeah I second that John these not so expensive amps do fall in compromising some aspects and I for one hate troubleshooting double sided pcb tube amps especially when the designer has chosen to skimp out on terminal blocks.

I might break down and buy a Vali ... then wait for Schiits Balanced Tube offerings maybe... I already have chinnese company I've sworn loyality to! 
 
Although... until I can hear one, I might say otherwise

Got the 1000s back in.  They sound amazing with the MKVI+.  With the MKVI+ on low gain, 70 is about the most I can handle with the 1000s, compared to 90-95 with the HD650s.  Glad to be rid of the unruly stock cable too.
 
Here's some pictures they e-mailed before sending it back.

They look great. AT do a lovely wood finish and the mid range on them is second to none. I was going to have my AT's recabled before finally settling on the HE-500's instead.

I have been thinking about getting my w3000 recabled to balance but kind of nervous . They sound great with my peak - volcano , but I want to be able to listen to them on my MKVI+ also. My single ended output on the VI+ is really noisy and I don't want to send it to china again. Anyone has any idea what could be wrong and who could fix it for me? It makes some sore if interference noise . Like an antenna picking up interference .
Thanks

It is a buzzing sound, it is connected with just balanced cables, do I need to connect it with RCAs too?
John , have u modded yours at all?

It's a common weak of this amp.
There is always a hum (AFAIK...) on the SE output, it can be very low on low gain, or higher if you put the gain on high (useless most of the time).
Let's have a balanced connector for your cans !

Is this the original layout with the SE output in the back, or the new one with the SE output in the front?

I thought that it's still in the back? ;p Atleast when I check the homepage it is. Would be awesome in the front tho...

It is on the back of the amp
