April 23, 200818 yr Here's some prototype pics of the KGBH SE. I plan to bring it to CanJam in a week w/ a pair of black O2 MKII on a Sony SCD-1 ^MOT As I would expect, looking great!
April 23, 200818 yr As I would expect, looking great! Slightly understated. I had to adjust my pants after looking at it!
April 23, 200818 yr Sweet-looking amp, Justin! I can't wait to read impressions from the Can Jam meeting. I hope my amp will finally be around then. That way it'll almost feel like being there.
April 23, 200818 yr I'm looking forward to hearing the BHSE. And, the O2 MkII is here! So how is it? My SR-007A would be here soon if there wasn't a national holiday tomorrow...
April 23, 200818 yr Damn Justin Er, you wouldn't consider maybe loaning it to me for, I dunno, a month or six, just so I can see how fully awesome my Smegma Pros really are Hehe That's a great looking amp and probably sounds even better than it looks. I'm all jealous of you canjam peeps.
April 23, 200818 yr I'm also jealous of you Can Jammers. Wasn't the International Head-Fi Meet 2009 going to be held in Europe? Germany would be perfect, since it's relatively cheap to travel there given its central location. Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind anyone sending me a STAX Lambda Pro for auditioning purposes with my future Singlepower amp. I think they would mate pretty well.
April 24, 200818 yr The dust is almost always stuck to the membrane. Only dust and the charred remains of arced mylar make this sound but basically look for anything that is protruding close to the stators and will move once the high voltage hits. I didn't see anything when I opened it up again, but wiping the membrane gently with some PVC wrap (dry, of course) seems to have done the trick, thanks
April 24, 200818 yr Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind anyone sending me a STAX Lambda Pro for auditioning purposes with my future Singlepower amp. I think they would mate pretty well. Sorry, fresh out of Pro's or any Lambdas for that matter. I own a few in Japan but the scene has been so quiet over there lately that saving up for a shipment isn't going too well. I didn't see anything when I opened it up again, but wiping the membrane gently with some PVC wrap (dry, of course) seems to have done the trick, thanks Very cool!!
April 24, 200818 yr This is kind of a random question, but does anyone know how the XLR/RCA input on the SRM-007t works? If I switch the input to XLR, and feed the amp balanced (+, -, and gnd) signal, would the RCA input work as a single ended (+ and gnd) loop out? I've actually tried this, and it seems to work. I hope I'm not somehow shorting the L and R - signals together when I do this. Also, I am assuming that the amp is simply "fully balanced" (+ and - are separately amplified with respect to gnd) when the input is switched to XLR. What happens when the input is switched to RCA?
April 24, 200818 yr With the amp set to RCA the - side of the amp is grounded. So the output also becomes single ended, with the maximum output voltage halved?
April 27, 200818 yr Why is the international hf meet always during exams?!?!? I want to listen to the KGBH SE!
April 27, 200818 yr Would you really fork out the air fares to go for a couple of days of headphone listening dude? After graduation I'd consider going. Turn it into part of a longer holiday.
April 27, 200818 yr I'd just stay for a few more days, pop up to Toronto to visit grandparents and make it a holiday:D
April 27, 200818 yr So the output also becomes single ended, with the maximum output voltage halved? Nope. Amplifier is fully balanced output. Single ended input, or balanced input does not matter.
April 27, 200818 yr Here's some prototype pics of the KGBH SE. I plan to bring it to CanJam in a week w/ a pair of black O2 MKII on a Sony SCD-1 ^MOT Very nice Justin! I look forward to listening impressions from CanJam.

April 28, 200818 yr Nope. Amplifier is fully balanced output. Single ended input, or balanced input does not matter. Thanks for the answer. This makes a lot more sense. I was just wondering since the description of the 007t says that it has "no transformer or inverting amplifier in the signal path." To answer my other question, I tested the inputs using a multimeter yesterday, and it looks like the RCA input does work as an SE loop out for the XLR input.
