Headphone output on the Mcintosh C2200
Your Mac most probably doesn't use the same circuit for the headphones as it does for the speakers. It probably (like most components of this type) use a lower quality op amp to drive headphones. I, therefore, recommend the use of a seperate headp...

Benz Lp-s Frequency Resonance Problems
Doug...good suggestions. I think also that the cartridge should be sent back to Benz for them to check. Too many people have great success with this cartridge on too many arms for this to happen only to the poster.
