I'm having a problem with how to connect a headphone amp to my amp so that i can play a CD player and a vinyl record turntable with out having to disconnect the cables each time.
Now my Amp has no tape loop so at 1st i thought of using the amp as a pre amp only. in the user instructions of the amp it say's Pre Mode All signals to and from the amplifer of the 8300A are disconnected. In this mode, the 8300A functions as a pre-amplifer But then i will have two volume controls so i don't think i can go down this route? Now i'm thinking of a splitter but i don't know which one to go for ether Y cable or Hard RCA Splitter which is best? I wound prefer to use my stereo amp a audiol-- but this may not be possible. i'm bit confused. I know i'm going for a Graham Slee headphone Amp that's it that's not confusing |

Can you explain what equipment you are using and maybe post some pics of the connections on the back?

Hi,
It looks like the 8300A doesn't have a fixed line out connection so you have little choice but to use one of the 'Pre Output' connections with 'Pre' Mode set. Try setting vol to a level on the 8300A to give you a good range of adjustment on the GS amp. |

Hmm, looking at the connectors on the back in the picture, I think Rich W is correct. You would have to use a pre-out connector and carefully set the volume before setting the volume on your GS headphone amp. I think you should still be able to use the source selection function of the integrated amp, so it should be easy to switch between phono/CD/etc. if those sources are plugged into the integrated amp. I would try that before messing with splitters and such.

Thanks all for the advice
I spoke to two of my friends as they have gone down the headphone route both told me the same they didn't get around the problem they both went direct to the headphone amp for the best sound. One of them spoke to his HiFi dealer about the problem he told him that a lot of their customers find they are listening through their headphones more than to their speakers. He told me that's same for him. I will still try the pre amp mode. But with the direct route I can get the headphone amp near to where I sit and see how I get on with that for the time being plus they both told me to buy a gs headphone amp I am anyway. now it's time to think of what headphones to get. Again thanks all |
