Got it -- thanks for the explanation. Anyway, I'm happy with the "Iron_Dreamer mod" for now! Is this distortion audible in your opinion? Here I am thinking it sounds good ...

The lower the impedance of a circuit, the harder it is to drive, and hence the higher the distortion will be. Amps are designed to avoid this problem by having a very high impedance, whereas headphones cannot be. |
