 Topic: Help with Solo SgrIIPosted: 06 Nov 2022 at 2:59pm |

Hi. Just got a solo SGRII and hooked it up to the tape loop of my Naim 62 preamp. Headphones are Grado sr80.
I don’t have the greatest hearing but I have to have the amp turned up full in order to get anything like listenable (to me) and even then I wish I had 10% more at least. This is with either CD or vinyl as the source going through the Naim. Does this sound right? I’ve tried either input. Next is to try and find an entirely different source but I’ll have to hope I’ve got the cabling.

The Grados are high sensitivity, so it shouldn't take a lot to drive them.
Can you post pictures to show how things are connected up?

Ok so something isn’t right then. I’m not home anymore but I’ve literally got a din to 4 x rca cable out the back of my Naim pre amp - obviously 1 pair is in and the other out - but only one pair provides any audible audio into the solo.
I’ve ordered a 3.5mm to rca cable to try amplifying the signal out of a iPad or something - to see if the amp is at fault.

Some amps short inactive inputs to cut crosstalk on the selected input Does it change headphone if the Naim amp is using that source/input?

Looking at manualslib, and it says something about the tape output into 600 ohms is 75mV.
That looks to be quite low.

My amplifier kicks out volts, not millivolts from the tape out.
