K3cT Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 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.

Beefy Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 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.

fierce_freak Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 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).

K3cT Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
