Hi to All,
I' ve just bought a new Rotel RA-02. Though the amp is great I' am very disappointed in the headphones output.
The main problem is that the output is very noisy. There is a _c o n s t a n t_ white noise like noise, which is independent of the position of the volume control potmeter. Because the HD 600 is sensititive, the normal listening sound level is almost the starting position of the volume potmeter. In this state the noise / signal ratio is _very_ bad.
What to do?
I suppose, if the HD-600 would less sensitive this constant level noise would be much more quiet, and the normal listening sound level would be the 9 or 10 o clock position on the volume potmeter. In this case the noise / signal level sould be better... But this is not the case...
Any suggestions? Pls do not recommend me to buy a headphone amp, I 've just bought my new amplifier... .
Is it possible to use the Rotel's preamp out for my headphone?The spec. write that Rotel's preamp out is 1V / 470 ohm. The Sennheiser is 300 ohm. I am not an expert in this impedance thing.
Is it bad for the Rotel?
Or is it degrade the sound quality?
Someone at the rec.audio.high-end newsgroup suggested to put resistors to the headphones out. Unfortunatelly I know nothing about this, what kind of resistors should I use, impedance, and type and brand... ?
thx for everybody who spend her/his time to read this message, and
thing about a solution.
