Does the 1/4 inch headphone plug screw on like the lower end models, or am I going to need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to connect to my Meta 42 which has 1/8 jacks?
If an adapter is needed, which do you folks recommend?
There are several threads about adapters. Check the search function.
I would never suggest the Radio Shack adapter (for this direction, anyway) because of sharp edges and uneven sections that can catch in many jacks. Instead, consider the Audio Technica, the Grado adapter cord, or the Dayton (from Parts Express). I have all three. I use the Grado with my Corda HA-1 because it functions as a stress relief, protecting the amp's jack and the headphone cord.
The Radio Shack adapter that goes in the other direction is fine (it's also a duplicate of the Sennheiser adapter).
Changing the plug permanently might affect the resale value, and who knows what else you might do to the silk cover, the special copper, etc.
Found that torchiere lamps induce nicotine addiction in moths.

You will need an adapter (or soldering skills, though I wouldn't recommend that). The Grado 1/4" to 1/8" adapter that Headroom sells is highly recommended from what I have read.
