I just received an A.S.L. MG-HeadDT amp today and couldn't wait to try it out. I plugged my IC into my sound card (office PC headphone jack) and the other end into the amp. I plugged in my A900s and let the amp warm up for an hour. After a quick listen I was upset with the sound quality. The detail was all but gone and there was a distinct fuzz sound in the background.
Thinking this was a result of an already amped headphone jack going to a tube amp, I ran home a grabbed my single CDP to try as the source. To my unfortunate surprise, the results were the same.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? My original setup (cheapo sound card headphone jack -> A900) sounds much better than my new one (sound card or CDP -> MG-HeadDT -> A900).
Also, the tubes on the amp are glowing very dim and are not getting very hot at all (they are warm and faintly orange). Is this normal? This is my first tube amp so I apologize for my ignorance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
