Hey guys, I'm new to hi fi stuff, so pardon my igorance.
I have a secondhand Onkyo AVR with a 1/4" headphone jack. I also have a pair of Harmon/Kardon headphones with a 3.5mm plug. I bought a stereo 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter and an extension cable to listen to my turntable with my headphones, but whenever I plug my phones into the 1/4" adapter (via the extension or not), the sound is quite distorted. What should I do? Do I need a headphone amp?
