Hi All,
Finished my first amp (PIMETA) a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it a lot. I switched over to the line out of an ipod for my current source and the original gain (I think I came up with something like 10.5 - the multiloop complicates it a bit) is a bit too much for when I use my A900ltd (40 Ohm). My preferred listening level is barely after the wiper actually starts making contact and I would like a bit more range in adjustment. It is better when I use my ER4S but I still don't go much past 1/4 of the pot range.
Since I was going to order connectors and cables to make some interconnects I was thinking about making an "output resistance" interconnect for low impedance phones on high gain amps that is nothing more than a series resistor in each channel. Any suggestions for good parts/boutique resistors to fit this role? (I was thinking somewhere around 25-50 Ohms).
Edit: This should be in DIY, my mistake. Feel free to move it.
Thanks,
Ryan
