humanflyz Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 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. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah, if it were me and I wanted one, I'd feel comfortable buying it and just avoiding the scenario. Quote
n_maher Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 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. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 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. Quote

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. Quote
granodemostasa Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 If it's the might i'm thinking of, congrats dude, that's the best SS headphone amp there is. Quote
909 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 go for it. it has to be one of my all time favorite ss. easily as good if not better than the b22. Quote
deepak Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 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. Quote
DigiPete Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Never heard a Beta22, but I would love to do an a/b against my Dynamite. Quote

Augsburger Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Well ship it to DC via FedEx then you can return on the plane with many small packages of twisted dented metal. Been there........... Quote
grawk Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 sure they are, pack it in a pelican 1600 case, and check it. That's what I did with my m3 for canjam. Quote
