Got a second hand ULDE, sounds very good.
My question is about the volume. I'm using 300 ohm Sennhesier HD600 Headphones. These are the latest ones (2019). Comfortable listening volume on ULDE is at 9 o'clock, I get plenty enough sound at this level. But I this find odd. I thought ULDE with high impedance headphones, you had to adjust volume after 12 o'clock? My ULDE is connected straight to a Marantz PM6006 (UK Edition) CD Player. Thanks. S.

Yes, that's for a range of sources that comply with IEC 61938, but at 2.2 volts rms, your CD player outputs about four times that, so you would turn the volume down, as you have.

The Solo dial position will depend on the signal level going into its input as well as the impedance/sensitivity of the output load.

Trialling the ULDE at the moment through the loan programme ( currently listening to Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer as I type!) with Beyerdynamic DT 880 edition ‘phones, 600 ohm. Volume control set at between 9 and 11 o’clock seems to work for vinyl and cd inputs.

I have 600 ohm DT 880 Edition and 400 ohm DT 100 headphones. Through my Marantz ND8006 (mostly FLAC files over CD) the volume required for both headphones ranges between 9 and 12 o'clock, depending on the recording. I don't generally listen to vinyl on headphones, not sure why?

Interesting that, I do the same but I know why, most of the time I listen at night or evenings with headphones on (the danger of falling to sleep). The only other time I put headphones on is when I'm trying hard to listen to music and don't wont to be distracted, By the way I have HD600s 2019 and the volume between 9 & 12 on my Solo.
