General Discussion / Bottlehead Repro Output
« on: November 05, 2012, 08:07:28 AM »
Hi all, this is more a comment/question than some kind of complaint. Earlier this year, my preamp was out for service (more like "restoration"!) so I wasn't able to listen to my LPs...so I figured I do lots of tape listening. So I hooked up my Repro directly to my headphone amp...well it just didn't sound right. There was some kind of distortion, at higher frequencies. I have never heard this before.
So...my question is: isn't the output from the repro a standard line stage output? Or is there some mismatch between feeding the repro directly into the headphone amp?
The headphones being used are Stax OAIIs...if there's any distortion/discolouring of the sound, you'll hear it with them...
Since I've got my preamp back everything is back to normal. I did listen to my tuner and some cassette dubs (don't laugh) at the time and didn't hear any distortion. If anyone has any insights on this, I would love hear them....thanks
