Hey guys,
Really odd circumstance here, and need some help. On hand I currently have the LD1+ connecting to 3 different pairs of headphones. First set is Senn HD595 w/ standard cable, second is Denon AH-D2000 w/ standard cable, and the third is the newly purchased set from a headfi'er, custom modded Denon AH-D2000 with upgraded cable/plug.
The issue is this: when I plug in my 595's or the stock D2000's, full stereo sound comes through no problem. When I plug in my modded D2000's, sound only comes through the left side. I trouble shooted to see if it was the cabling on the headphones by plugging directly into my uDac2, perfectly fine. I plug them back into the LD1, then slightly push downward on the plug, and the stereo kicks in.
Is this a common balance issue with the headphone socket on LD amps? It literally takes a single finger's worth of downward pressure on the socket and they kick in, but as soon as I lift my finger off, it cuts right back out to just the left side...but doesn't do it with my other sets. Is it a weight/balance issue with the upgraded plug? I can't imagine it's even an ounce of difference in weight? Can I tighten the socket in the LD amp?
This didn't happen when I listened with them yesterday....all of a sudden today this happens. Worried/annoyed/aggravated.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
