I have a earmax tube amp and i was told to increase the power to my akg k501s i have to increase the impedance (reverse of sold states). Is there anyone who sells adapters or cable that will increase the ohms for my headphone to the amp? I think it's rated at 130 ohms impedance right now, and i'm looking to double it, as the earmax was designed for 300 ohms.

Thanks,
AP

I have a 100ohm adapter cable if you want to buy it.

An additional serial resistance to your K 501 will decrease efficiency. 120 or 130 ohm is an unproblematic load for the Earmax. There's nothing you can do if it doesn't have enough power to drive the K 501 to satisfying levels -- maybe a more efficient headphone (e.g. HD 650) or the Earmax Pro...
