Is the 60 more sought after than the 60 II?

it's alligator skin

Other than that, I have no prefreences of one over the other. Also have a 4k but for drum tracks nothin' beats the 60.

the output level of the headphone jack is higher, too. at least it's higher than the stereo out. not sure about the mix out. give it a try. i'm running my speakers out of it and volume at half-way is louder than full-volume out the stereo outs. i don't think anyone with a MK2 needs to do the output boost mod.

i think someone in these forums has modded their MK1 with a headphone jack so it's def. possible. however, i'm not sure if they're getting the same higher output from it like i do.

Yeah the phones jack is REALLY loud.

That whine definately sounds like a ground loop. Try plugging it into different sockets etc.

Yeah, that's a fact. For some reason there seems to be a higher gain stage on the phone jack. I used to tap the phone jack with a modified insert cable. But a couple of vacume tube preamps and a good compresser on the stereo mix jacks is the way to go if you want that killa' drum groove. I use a couple of Avalon 737's.

for u mk1 users, just use the phones jack on your mixer.
