Well, I either have a bum unit or the RA-1 *can’t* drive the HD580s after all.
Just got my new RA-1, plugged it into my CDP via my outlaw IC’s and . . . whoa! . . . it’s distorted as hell.
The sound is okay until about the 9 o’clock position. Then only the left side becomes distorted.
I thought it was my Plainview 9 volts, but a battery switch didn’t do the trick.
The amp kind of reminds me of this distortion pedal I once had called ‘classic fuzz.’
Anyway, I’ll call Grado tomorrow and send it to them for repairs.
With the HD580s, this distortion is not normal
. . . right?
Reminds me of all those mg head reviews: “the amp has really bad hum on the left channel . . . but God, I love the sound!”
