A bit late on it but congrats krmathis! Kudos to Head-fi!

 

[krmathis]

Thanks!

Since the thread is up there I take the opportunity to post some up-to-date pictures of it.









...and one of the headphone hooked up to it.

Lovely!

Just saw this thread. Congrats on a phenomenal amp krmathis. I was lucky enough to aquire Fallen Angel's B22. It looks very similar to yours. What a phenomenal sounding amp! Have you tried it w/ balanced hd800's?

 

[Henerenry]

Wow, I want one.

Congrats on a very fine looking amp.

KR, you have an amazing collector's item. Congratulations, and it looks beautiful.

Wow... that's an amazing piece of work ! really nice initiative.
But how the heck did you end up with >29 000 posts !!!! that's unbelievable !

I'm pretty sure I'll take the plounge and make one myself... no particular experience but a well working brain should help me go through this !

I agree, it just looks outstanding. From the engraving to the precisely-mounted connectors and fittings, just wow. I wish there was a company who sold these.

you seriously need to get a pair of balanced headphones. the hardest part - finding a decent bal amp - was already done for you.

The right side of his case has a 4 pin balanced connector, which is connected to each of the 4 wires on his AKG - that is balanced as I see it.

As I also understand it, true balanced connection is a differential current in 2 of 3 wires, with the third being ground. "Balanced" Headphone connections are only 2 connectors to each side of the headphone, instead of a common ground between them. There is not differential circuitry in the headphone to handle a true differential balanced connection.

4 pin XLR > 2 3 PIN XLR.

surely you know that the K1000 uses an XLR

to clarify, this build's 4-pin XLR is wired balanced

 

[vcoheda]

K1000s don't count.
