Troubleshooting headphone amp/integrated amp connection
There's other very simple trick to turn pre-out into tape-out or line-out by simply reconnecting terminals to bypass volume control and it could even be done switchable.Any descent techie should know how to do that.

Next step up speakers in totem acoustic line from the totem forest?
Also in some bass heavy music I notice that the midrange can't stay focused with the lowed bass. I believe that you're rather dealing with poorly mastered bass. Adding subwoofer will give an ability for Forests to blast midrange and they can ...
