actually that has changed somewhat, Craig built the HD2 and after listening to it in balanced and unbalanced mode through both headphones and speakers we both agreed balanced was a nice step up in that amp. I would not be surprised to see a balanced SS amp in the semi near future.
Oh and understand it is better than most headphone amps at powering the k1000 but it is not as good as a seperate k1000 amp yes balanced it will put out the quality juice to make the k1000s sing, single ended it's ok but not top class.
To those that are interested if you want a run of single ended Red Tops/Hats I would contact Craig directly. I don't think he would do just 2 or 3 as it would not be cost effective.
