July 21, 200818 yr comment_142174 Hey Guys: I have a chance to get a pretty good deal on a SFT built Dynamight from a person that I've known for a long time and trust. The only issue that he has disclosed to me about the amp is that on the lowest gain setting, there is some crackling when changing the volume on the stepped attenuator. But on all other gain settings, there is no crackling. Is this something of a major concern? Because I don't anticipate on using the lowest gain setting, having heard this amp before. Thanks. Report
July 21, 200818 yr comment_142177 Yeah, if it were me and I wanted one, I'd feel comfortable buying it and just avoiding the scenario. Report
July 21, 200818 yr comment_142185 I'd try to get gilmore or Justin to comment on it before I bought it, but then again if there's no issue on the higher gain settings maybe it really is a non-issue. Report
July 22, 200818 yr comment_142217 I would leave it on a voltage gain of ten and not worry about it. Or if you insist on much less gain, you need to add a resistor to ground at the output of the attenuator for each channel. Report

Or if you insist on much less gain, you need to add a resistor to ground at the output of the attenuator for each channel. I had the same issue with a low gain setting on my Dynamite. Upping the gain to 10 helped. Also had to redo my grounding scheme (lift the grounds from the xlr inputs) to get rid of the remaining small amount of scratchiness in the pot. Report
July 22, 200818 yr comment_142321 If it's the might i'm thinking of, congrats dude, that's the best SS headphone amp there is. Report
July 22, 200818 yr comment_142323 go for it. it has to be one of my all time favorite ss. easily as good if not better than the b22. Report
July 22, 200818 yr comment_142327 That's jjcha's old amp right? It's a really nice amp, and I agree that it is just as good or better than the Beta22. Report
July 22, 200818 yr comment_142536 Never heard a Beta22, but I would love to do an a/b against my Dynamite. Report
July 23, 200818 yr comment_142571 Well ship it to DC via FedEx then you can return on the plane with many small packages of twisted dented metal. Been there........... Report
July 24, 200818 yr comment_143146 sure they are, pack it in a pelican 1600 case, and check it. That's what I did with my m3 for canjam. Report
