I recently bought a pair of R10s. I was really enjoying them with my RSA HR2. Today I started noticing a strange distortion that was happening to my music. It was not the distortion of a blown driver, but an interconnection problem between the amp and the headphones. I then plugged my R10s into my Corda Opera and the distortion was no longer present. This really frustrated me as I prefer the HR2's synergy with the R10s.
I called Ray and asked him what I should do. He told me to try and locate the problem. Was it the amp? The source? The RCA cable? The Headphones? The outlet the power supply was plugged into?
First thing I did was try out my K701 with the HR2. There was no distortion at all. Next my DT880.....no distortion.
Then I tried the R10. DISTORTION DISTORTION DISTORTION.
I once again plugged my R10s back into my Corda Opera, NO DISTORTION.
I then proceded to clean the tip of my R10 with rubbing alcohol and cotton.
Still with the HR2 DISTORTION.
I unplugged the HR-2 Power Supply, brought it to another outlet, changed my source, change my interconnects, plugged my R10 back in and DISTORTION DISTORTION DISTORTION.
Went back to my Opera.....no distortion.
I called Ray, and he cannot imagine what the problem is. It does not distort with any of my other headphones.......and my R10s do not distort with my other amp.
Please tell me there is a solution.
Thanks Dave
