May 16, 2004	Two preamps in your system What a horrible thought. First, you have to get them to run at the same gain. Second, you have to make sure their volume controls track each other (impossible). Third, you have to manipulate two controls when one should do.Finally, this old canard...

May 06, 2004	Earphones driven by preamp RCAs? 1. In general, a well constructed purpose-designed device, like a headphone amp, will be superior, for driving headphones. Note, they have a much lower input impedance than that of the average amp. Of course, such a general statement is irrelevant...
May 06, 2004	Earphones driven by preamp RCAs? It may maximise the power transfer but if there isn't enought drive power to begin with it won't matter.
May 06, 2004	Earphones driven by preamp RCAs? The jack ain't the issue; it's what's driving the jack. You preamp has a relatively low output impedance and does a fair job of driving the phones. However, the fact that you have to set the VC at 12 o'clock suggests that there's not much power ou...
