Using Tape Outputs


Hi All,

My speaker tech did me a favor and made me a respectable pair of DIY open back headphones. They work beautifully with everything except the 6.4mm connection on the front of my ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier. There may be a way to fix the disconnect that I’m getting from the ASR amplifier headphone connector but the best way might be to add a headphone amp to the tape outputs on the amp instead. My understanding then is that a separate amplifier connected to the tape outputs would act as a volume control but that the signal would come from my amp. I apologize for seeming stupid but I need a better clarification on how this is done and an idea regarding what type of amp I would need and how much it will cost. Thanks !

$71 + sales tax delivered

More expenditure often begets better aural quality.

I would start there and try improvements if desired.

@fuzztone Thanks, I was looking at the Schiit headphone amps. I did fill out an information request which was all automated and I got a response saying; the better the headphone amp, the better the overall sound, even though I’m tapping into my amp’s outputs. In other words, what you said. Anyway, $71.00 is so affordable that it’s well worth any risk.
