Transformer ? The IEM's low impedance IS the issue dude. DaMnEd is absolutely correct with his suggestion. If you want to use an IEM on an amp designed for higher impedance cans you have to either buy an adapter or change headphones.....you can change the transformer till the sky falls in you'll still have that hum. An adapter is a couple of bucks, new transformer is 25 -65US (Mercury Magnetics) for nothing, new headphones 250-450US......I think the adapter is the only choice that makes sense at this point unless you have a transformer fetish ( I know I do...R-Core's get me going
) or have a spare 400US laying around for HD650's. 2 of those choices will solve the hum issue, one won't do anything except cost money.
