Just ordered a couple of single-ended to balanced adapters from Mimic Cables so I can use all of my 3.5mm and 1/4" (6.25mm) plugs with the V2+ Balanced output.  Link

Looks like LH Labs 3D cases are back in production,

According to LH Labs, as of Friday, the GOV2 chassis hadn't been finalized, but I imagine it's a different situation with the V2+.

CT, for the V2 this would be a TRRS male to xlr female right ? What I mean is that would this adapter have a TRRS (3.5 mm) male that would go into the V2 and at the other end it would have a XLR female to plug the HP cables into ? Thanks

kothganesh yes, that's what you'd want to use a 4pin xlr headphone cable with the geek out v2 balanced output..  but he said he's going to use his single ended headphones with teh balanced output, I think he just wants the extra power from the port not the balanced benefits.. he said he's getting a 6.3mm and 3.5mm adapter.

I have a usb cable I got from mimic and the sleeve came loose.. and my friend also got a usb cable from mimic that had issues.. so I Might try a chinese seller adapter instead.. I had these two bookmarked.  But as you know, I eventually decided to just get a 3.5mm trrs male to hifiman connector headphone cable instead.  the kothganesh approved 8 conductor copper cable :P  that one is getting delivered on august 28.  hopefully my gov2 is here by then

Is there any issue with plugging a pair of LCD-2 (rev 2 without Fazor) into the single ended output on the low gain setting?

The volume is enough for me, it'd sitting on -14 dB for casual listening, -7/5 dB when I want more impact or for tracks that were mastered more quietly. I don't think I've heard any distortion or lack of power.

I just don;t like electronics running hot. :D

Uncola, great minds think alike. I ordered the same adapter cable from Amazon today. Almost bought from MIC but did not pull the plug. Thanks man.

Ah! Thanks for the link. I find searching for these kind of things difficult as amazon/google tend to provide microphone only results.

Oh, I grabbed one of those from Amazon too. Mimic has not shipped or updated me on my adapter order yet.  Now I will have 3 types.

If anyone has a good lead on an RSA/ALO/Kobiconn Male to 3.5mm TRRS, I'd appreciate a pass-along. Likely going to be pairing my GO V2+ with a ALO RX MKIII and that interconnect would be needed to connect V2+ balanced out to MKIII balanced in.
