March 4, 201016 yr Hey guys. Since I didn't get a satisfactory response from the other forum, I suppose I would ask here. Do any of you use the Beta 22 with a JH13? If so, what gain setting do you use with it? If you also use some form of stepped attenuator that will be nice to mention. You see, I plan to build a Beta22 in the future but I'm still working out what gain value will be the best compromise for the low-Z JH13. I'm thinking of 5 or 6 in 3-channel configuration but first-hand anecdotes will be very helpful.

March 4, 201016 yr you'll want a custom curve attenuator most likely. Nothing off the shelf will work. Also, get the gain as low as you can and have the amp still be stable. That being said, I wouldn't do it.
March 5, 201016 yr Jeff, those look great and I'm glad to hear you got such a good fit. The JH13 sound great with the Luxman P-1. Don't know about the Beta. Vicki, I will try to get some pics taken of the JH13s and cable and amp in Boston or I will do it when I return from the road.
March 5, 201016 yr I'm thinking of 5 or 6 in 3-channel configuration but first-hand anecdotes will be very helpful. 5 or 6 is too high for Audio Technicas with a pot, let alone an IEM with a stepper.
March 5, 201016 yr I caved and scheduled an appointment with my audiologist to get impressions made. Now I need to decide if I want any artwork. I do know that I'll probably go with solid white for the left ear and solid black for the right ear which is what I've always wanted to do whenever I think about customs (I'm a sick Lost-obsessed fan).
March 5, 201016 yr Mine have been "billing information received" on the ups tracking site for 2 days.
March 6, 201016 yr I appreciate the inputs, guys. I suppose there is the 2x gain but I'm not sure it's a good idea for the other high-Z cans. Back to the drawing board I guess.
March 8, 201016 yr Mine came in this morning. Fit seems to be good, they're comfortable and sound right. I'll see if they get irritating over time. As of now, I'm pretty darn happy.
