I have had this nice headphone amplifier for a couple of years. Over time the headphone jack has become touchier.
I use a 3 mm headphone plug and put this into a 3mm to 1/4 inch stereo plug adapter. I have to fine tune it to get good stereo sound out of it. I have used both the 3 mm headphone plug and the 1/4 inch adapter in other devices and other devices in this amp and it all works in different products but this amp continues to have problems.
I took the bottom cover off of the amp and pushed the contacts closer in to the center of the jack but it did not do anything.
Has anyone installed another jack in this amp? Is it pretty easy? It looks like about 3 solder joints and that should do it.
Alternatively, I am not using the "speaker jacks" in the back. Is there an easy way to connect the four cables together to get three connections for a stand alone jack? That would be easy to do without much risk of hurting the insides of the amp.
Any ideas? It is not a pressing issue since I can get a good connection by adjusting the plug slightly while it is being connected but I would like to have a solid feel.
