I have this amp:
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/410886/elekit-tu-882-vacuum-tube-5670w-x-2-headphone-amp
And I am getting distortion at low impedance setting(4-32ohm) for my HD800. Can anyone explain how output impedance reacts with headphones of difference impedance? HD800 is 300ohm. Why would it distort at low impedance setting, my HD650 doesn't, I though lowest output impedance setting is desireable for damping?
