yoyo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Hello, Just bought LD2+ from the latest MO. I saw from the instruction manual there is a "jumper pin" (direct translation) inside for different type of headphone, would like to find out if I shld ignore this & just use the amp as it is fresh out of the box? Appreciate any advice & what's the average run in time for a tube amp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clemo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Yoyo, Regarding the choice of high gain or low gain. I assume that you in normal gain. You must see what is the percentage of your vol. pot when youre listening with your favourite phone. If the pot is at 80% then you should go for high gain. If the vol. pot is only 30% and you are already on normal gain then just leave it that way. hope it helps. Cheers, clemo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoyo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Thankyou for super fast response. I'm using AKG 271 & DAP as source, my current listen volume is abt 11 o'clock position, u think I shld do anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clemo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Hi yoyo, 11 o'clock is fine. I usually use the 75% source and only change to high gain is the vol. pot is more then 75%. Well that for me, some would go for 100% source. So i think your gain is fine. Cheers, clemo Hi ahgoh7, If there are enough interest i should start another one. Its so cheap that it give everyone a chance to try out a Tube Amp. Cheers, clemo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zakyn 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 Being quite impressed with this amp. However it does run quite hot? The entire enclosure goes to say 40-50 celcius? and is scalding to the touch Also, the headphone connector plug does heat up as well. Is that normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pegasus21 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 From what I've read about the LD2+, it does heat up some though the LD2 heats up more. Guess it's normal. Other tube amps don't heat up as much as the LD2+ based on what I've read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zakyn 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 Have used the Little country as well, the heat seems managable. Anyway more burning in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csleena 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 The heat from the LD2+ is just as hot as that of the LD2. Not much difference, IMHO. I have both the LD2+ & LD2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luk0 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 Hi guys, sorry I'm quite a noob in this area, will this be a suitable amp to pair with MS-1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyaw 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 MS-1 doesn't need an amp, with amp the improvement is marginal. I'd used a little dot 2 with SR-60, I could not hear any much difference between SR60 w/o amp vs SR60 w/ amp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
