Headphone jack adaptor question.

Elizabeth,

(aka the "alien"-->your answer to the abduction thread was hilarious, btw!)

Thanks, I won't. I had wanted to somehow put the Dodson DAC in the chain. Right now, the only jack is on the output of the Onkyo, which is ok, but would have to be considered the system's weakest link. I own a Ramsey SHA-1 (or something like that) headphone amp, which I'd been running from the line level output on my Sony Discman. It USED to sound great to me, but with the acquisition of the Summits and the Dodson, it now sounds,...um.... less satisfactory, even with Sennheiser HD-600's. I own no suitable cassette deck either.

So NOW what do I do? I'm spoiled and want the same phenomenal sound, or at least close, from the headphones, but I'm also a cheapskate, and my wife will probably kill me (or at least give me a stern talking to) if I suggest sinking a few more grand into more "stuff."

Swampwalker,

Thanks for the tip. After looking on the Manufacturer List, I don't see ASL. Is there some information that you could help me find?

(Trying to decipher your handle, you don't work and/or live near the Everglades, do you?)

Mdhoover,

Radioshack has both a 1/4" stereo to rca and 1/8" stereo to rca adapters.

This might be the unit Swampwalker is referring to:
Antique Sound Labs UHC-Signature

Sfar- Close, but no cigar: that unit has speaker level inputs. The one I am talking about is this one:
Reference Tools the unit I had was defective out of the box, but was repaired. ASL in the past had some qa/qc issues, but others have said that those days are past.
And to the fine gent who asked about my moniker; you were close. I am a wetland scientist and often spend several days a week marking wetland boundaries and looking at the creepy-crawly things that live therein. But not in FL. I am snowbound in CT these days.
